HM on a 2018? Whats the mileage?
Doing a little in house experiment
Engine only has 32K miles but it's always had a valve train tick
Ford says it's normal
I've tried a couple of 5W-30 SN plus rated oils and engine sounds the same
QS HM is a robust SN rated oil so gona give it a try for fun and see what happens
Out: Mobil 1 0W-20.
In: Castrol Magnetic 0W-20. I kept the same oil filter on the vehicle because I change yearly and it only had approximately 3,000 miles on it. I mainly use this
vehicle for towing my boat back and forth on longer trips such as 350 miles or less round trip. The oil was fairly clean looking and probably overkill but I will keep this truck for quite a while. It has the off road metal plate under the engine and when I change the filter it drips for literally a couple days and I avoided that by not changing the filter this time.

Ya don't know reason why the police pkg got its own filter towards end of panther production ?? It was a PH2/XG2/FL820S across the board up to 2008. Then 2009-2011 the police interceptors got it's own smaller filters FL910S and the civilian cars stayed same FL-820/XX2 series ??
Any who, I'm gonna be running XG3614 from now on with my police vics

Wow I didn't know this, it's so ate up ford always just decides it's all of the sudden ok to use a new fluid.. same thing happened with mercon and do not put mercon v in your trans, then all the sudden they changed the spec to mercon v.
