At the chevron meeting two years ago, they were working hard to bring 30wts to market... It is the future, good to see it coming. Will be interesting to see how it is applied. Likely restricted to newer design engines.
their price will likely restrict most of us from using it
The description does say: "Provides excellent performance in older-generation diesel engines."
I wonder what the composition of it is
I'd almost run this on my SHO, the part about not using it on a car equipped with cats sounds promising..... and it doesn't have cats either...

I tried to get some of this oil about six months ago from both my local ford dealership and a local parts store that can get Motorcraft lubricants. I was going to send a sample out for spectro analysis. Both places showed a part listing, but it was unavailable to get at the time. Maybe if I have time I will check to see if it is available now.

Thanks for the MSDS.
Unfortunately it's very sparse of useful info like the viscosity of this oil. It does give a viscosity of 125 cSt but doesn't mention the temperature. I suspect this is at room temp' which isn't too useful and mentions the Flash point is 200C.
I wouldn't consider using this oil (or any oil) without getting at least the 40C and 100C viscosity spec's.

Just checked today with Ford dealer and they told me parts number(#CXO-0W30-LAS12) does not come up. I even told the parts guy I am looking at it off the Ford Motorcraft website. I also did not have any luck with the parts store that I can Motorcraft stuff from.
Oh well,
Mike

i'm afraid that when someone actually does come up with pricing, its going to be frightening
I will try in my 318 gas engine dodge maybe
Why do they say not to run it in a gasser? It's SM rated. I think some lawyer made them insert that text. It would probably work great in a gasser.
