Is there any data on the content of this syn blend? It has such a great price it makes me wonder if it is mostly dino with a splash of Group III thrown in. It seems like a good oil but I wanted to get some more opinion and data. Thank you.
Motorcraft 5w20 Formulation question

I tried to search in the VOA section but nothing came up. All I have is hearsay that it's almost 50% group III
.
. It does turn in very good UOA's for 5,000 runs so it must "doing something right". And at $2.08/qt at WallyWorld in the 5 qt container, everyday price, it's hard to beat
. I drive my 2002 F-150 about 5,000 miles per year so it works out fine with the Motorcraft filter. For me $5++++ synthetic oil would be overkill unless I changed every 18-24 months. Most of my miles are 10 mile trips on secondary roads with lights and traffic and the rest highway. So it's probably a good idea to change yearly at 5,000 miles with a good synthetic blend oil.

Thanks for the input and it does have a good record as an oil. I agree that it would be great for a 5k OCI.
The oil is formulated with alot of boron, it works great in every application I have tried it.
That sounds nice! I am just debating on MC over Mobil 1 and PP as the price difference is considerable. If MC would be adequate for 5k OCI then I may get the MC for price.
I quit using synthetics and use Motorcraft now in my personal cars.

To my knowledge MC does meet the Honda/Chrysler specs as well.
