Hi all, a relative of mine recently bought a Ford Ranger and it comes with the 2.3L ecoboost (4 popper).
The manual says to use 5w30 and recommends synthetic blend. I found that very odd considering it has a turbo on it. I told him to use a synthetic, and to change it after the break in period of 1000 miles.
Something interesting I noticed is that the manual says "e. If Motorcraft® oil is not available, use motor oils of the recommended viscosity grade that meet API SN PLUS requirements and display the API Certification Mark for gasoline engines", yet the oil the recommended, the Motorcraft 5w30, doesn't seem to be SN Plus certified, at least according to the pictures I saw 🤔
