Except that Valvoline Premium Blue (except "Extreme") does not meet the spec.
It does. For some reason they call it "heavy duty" in the list

Not sure. I called Valvoline about it a while back to confirm the oil and told them it was confusing
You can see by my uoa it easily meets the zinc and phosphorus requirements

The owners manual says 10W30 CK-4 or if using biodiesel blend, which nearly every gas station is now selling B5 diesel, you may use use 15W40 CK-4. By the way the owners manual does not say you must follow the Ford spec it just lists weight and CK-4. I doubt Ford's list is enforceable, because the owner's manual says CK-4.
Buy Traveller 15W40 at Tractor Supply Company it is dirt cheap $54.99 a 5 gallon bucket and frequently on sale for far less, and happens to be on the list. It's a dumb list to be sure, but that's Ford Motor Company for you.

This is very interesting to me. My 2017 Job 1 truck lists CJ-4 and I assumed that the newer owners manuals listed the new spec. Very strange that the newer ones list CK-4 when Ford clearly has said that CK-4 is not a sufficient spec for the 6.7. What year is your truck?

There are plenty of CK-4 oils on Ford's approved list for the 6.7L:
Ford Approved CK-4 Oils

Yes, I know that. In fact, to meet the spec they must also meet CK-4. But CK-4 alone is insufficient, at least according to Ford.

That horse has left the gate...a looong time ago. Ford with its seemingly infinite inability to adopt a standard created its own standard about a month before CK-4 deputed. Very little CJ-4 on the shelves these days (I just offloaded about 40 gallons of it). so if one cannot find one of the oils on the list, on is stuck using CK-4 without the -F1 Ford approval--another one of Ford's better ideas...
