Use SAE 5W-20 engine oil
Only use oils certified for gasoline engines by the American Petroleum Institute (API). An oil with this trademark symbol conforms to the current engine and emission system protection standards and fuel economy requirements of the International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC), comprised of U.S. and Japanese automobile manufacturers.
To protect your engine and engine’s warranty, use Motorcraft SAE 5W-20 or an equivalent SAE 5W-20 oil meeting Ford specification WSS-M2C945-A. SAE 5W-20 oil provides optimum fuel economy and durability performance meeting all requirements for your vehicle’s engine.

shown here, and can be identified
by the triangle markings on the
vehicle. Details are depicted on the
yellow warning label on the jack.
Jack at the specified locations to avoid damage to the vehicle.
7. Put the jack in the jack notch
next to the tire you are changing.
Turn the jack handle clockwise until
the wheel is completely off the
ground.
8. Remove the lug nuts with the lug
wrench.
9. Replace the flat tire with the
spare tire, making sure the valve
stem is facing outward. Reinstall lug
nuts until the wheel is snug against the hub. Do not fully tighten the lug
nuts until the wheel has been lowered.
If you are using the temporary tire, the lug nut washers will not appear
to be flush with the rim. This is normal only when using the temporary
spare tire.
10. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
11. Remove the jack and fully tighten the
lug nuts in the order shown. Refer to Wheel
lug nut torque specifications later in this
chapter for the proper lug nut torque
specification.
12. Put flat tire, wheel ornament (if
equipped), jack and lug wrench away. Make
sure the jack is fastened so it does not rattle
when you drive.
13. Unblock the wheel.
Nothing about oil.
Ford specification WSS-M2C945-A, this is nothing more than API SN/GF-5 specification. I understand PU does not state this meets it but from all of Pennzoil's advertising and spec sheets I do not see how it could not exceed APN/SN-ISLAC/GF-5. I would like to see what would happen if a dealership attempted to avoid warranty work because PU was used. This is not Texas Tea or other brand with out any market presence. Not only would Ford have to deal with a very angry customer trying to prove the customer was at fault which if he/she maintained the vehicle out lined in the owners manual which is near impossible to do, Ford would have to deal with Shell. Do you believe Shell would let a company try to say that Shell's flagship PCMO can not meet a minimum API ISLAC spec? Every other major blender would do the same.
BTW I found what you stated on page 293.
