Mobile 1 synthetic engine oil for 2.0 EcoBoost?

[Maverickent]

I learned at the first oil change that my dealer only use synthetic oil; albeit I didn't ask for the brand,did not matter to me...

I'm going to the dealer for oil changes too for a similar reason: They provide a lifetime warrantee on all lubricated parts as long as I let them do all of the service on all lubricated systems at the appropriate intervals. It was not easy for me to transition to that, as I have always done my own oil changes my whole life. I feel like it's worth bending over for a hard one for that extra coverage.

Good post. As stated before, It's complicated. Motor oil is much more than just lubrication as most of us know it. Motor oil has many functions beyond reducing friction. Motor oil is an extremely hard chemistry and it's always changing.

The process of bringing to market different oils with roughly 10-15% additive is quite fascinating. Despite the fact that it starts with the marketing department at Mobil for example, it is very rigorous testing going on prior to selling it:

Hi all,
For 2.0 ecoboost engine, the recommended oil from FORD is Motorcraft® SAE 5W-30 Premium Synthetic Blend. Wondering if Mobil 1 full synthetic 5w-30 will also work? I prefer full synthetic. Just don't know if FORD is OK with mobil 1.
Thanks.

Yes Mobil one and filter too. Watch a bunch of videos, then decide. Mercedes uses Mobil one, and others too

I personally don't understand "blend" I know conventional with synthetic. But to me, synthetic is the way to go.

Yes, you're fine with Mobil 1. I run Kirkland Signature synthetic.

You'd have to go out of your way to find oil that doesn't work.

Edit: but make sure it's GF-6A compliant like other folks mentioned, just to be sure.

I use Kirkland full synthetic also. Did my first oil change in my '23 XLT FX4 today.

How'd it go?

That skid plate ended up feeling much more substantial than the tin can I was expecting.

For what's it worth, many years ago I worked for a automotive vendor supplier. They did a lot of work with oil and duribility. The company sales people who drove cars til they reached 200,00 miles never changed oil only changed filters. The chemist then claimed oil doesn't wear out but will break down from heat and pressure like in race cars. There has been a lot of improvements in the oil we use these days compared to then. I change every 10,000 with no problems using synthetics.
nks.

It's an oil thread... It headed that direction within 5 posts. My comment was not directed at you, but instead the massive amount of stupidity in the vast sea of oil threads.

I usually just respond with popcorn .gifs, but I thought the /s tag would cover it here... guess not.

I swear by Mobil 1 Full Synthetic. I've used that oil on my 2011 F 150 3.5 liter since new and 385,000 miles later the motor runs like new.
I'll be using Mobil 1 on my Maverick as well.

Agreed! Much thicker than I thought it would be. All in all, I think the skid plate only adds about 5 minutes to the job. Wasn't bad at all.

For the last 20 years I've only used Mobil 1 on every vehicle I've owned. Turbo cars, sport and cruiser bike, snow blower, lawn mower lol. No issues at all.

The actual spec is WSS-M2C961-A1. If the oil manufacturer states that it meets that spec, it's ok. That said, any oil that meets the ILSAC GF-6A specification should work just fine.

the manual says:




Then again, if your motor fails due to an oil related issue and the oil you were using didn't meet the ILSAC spec you could potentially give them a reason not to honor the warranty.

How they could prove that is another story.

That spec is for the 2.5, for the 2.0l it's (PAG)WSS-M2C300-A2 .
The 2.5I is WSS-M2C31-B2.
