I am soon going to take possession of a new Lincoln with a 2.0 l EcoBoost.
There is a similar thread about using 0w30 for an EcoBoost engine. It doesn't really answer the question of what choices?
Pennzoil, Castrol, Mobil1 ESP, other brands make quality OW-30 oils. Almost all are marketed for European vehicles.
Other than Mobil1 AFE OW-30 I don't see any that have domestic automakers blessings. Pennzoil OW-30 isn't even shown to be ILSAC compliment.
I read that Mobil1 ESP seems to be some very good oil. Not marketed and tested and blessed with any Ford specs.
Ford has said for years in various vehicles that EcoBoost engines that spec 5W-30 can use OW-30 as an alternative and is a recommended in extreme cold but safe in all temperature ranges. This vehicle is no different.
I've searched also for Motorcraft oils. I can't see that Ford and Motorcraft even manufacturer a OW-30 oil of their own.
I'd probably run a quality 5W-30 oil but I see no harm in an oil that's thinner at a cold start and can possibly flow fractions of a second quicker to engine parts.
Looks like Mobil1 AFE OW-30 seems the only viable oil brand
