However they did ask for him to go back to the shop & supply them with receipts from oil changes.
I think they indicate customer supplied oil.
If an oil jug has a "diesel" approval on the label it should be suitable for any diesel engine, or does a person really need to be sure it has the correct API rating as well?
I am sure the biggest cause of the engines being on back order is due to the Covid 19 outbreaks, & manufacturers, & suppliers running at reduced capacity, if at all.
I haven't seen any recent Oil analysis reports from others who are using this engine. I have been sending frequent oil samples in for analysis on my 2018 F150 3.5 Ecoboost to monitor the fuel dilution issues, & now regretting not pulling a sample from my fathers truck to see how it was doing.
