Mobil 1 has a new Hybrid 0w-20 oil. They claim the formula handles contaminants better, which probably means it has a greater dose of dispersants to emulsify water better, and mix fuel into the oil better.
The Valvoline Hybrid-specific 0w-20 has similar claims.
Both brands of Hybrid oil have the right WSS- Ford specs, no issues there.
Is it really necessary? Likely not. Maybe not a bad idea though. I have liked the Mercedes-Ford spec Castrol Edge Extended.
These are decent.
I might switch to one of these at some point in the future.
Only thing I remember about what oil companies in the past have been doing to make Stop/Start and Hybrid engines work better, is the use of more polar polymer esters (Castrol Magnatec, and Castrol Edge).
The new Mobil 1 Hybrid and new-ish Valvoline Hybrid appears to only emphasize dispersants.
Another new product that seems fine, yet I think the Fram Titanium oil filter or Fram Ultra oil filter might still be better. This does seem like a good product, almost the same as Royal Purple full syn fiber oil filter:
If you google these product names, you might find it's not available in a store near you. Amazon could be the only option. Walmart has the mobil1 hybrid, & Valvoline hybrid elsewhere.
