yeah I also run amsoil 10w-30, but Im scared to leave it in that long. I have tried in the past to leave oil in for as long as the factory recommends.. and I just cant do it. I hate to see black paint draining out of a car or truck I paid so much for. my s2k's oil will get dark at about 2k, and at 3k it comes out.

Road Rage, is this Motorcraft non-synthetic?
If it is, wouldn't it be better to stick with Amsoil since Amsoil is synthetic?

To be fair, the Motorcraft is not a true synthetic, but rather a hydrocracked dino oil. Some manufacturers are labeling these as synthetics, even though they have a conventional base.

If you are using Amsoil, by all means keep using it. It is one of the best synthetic motor oils on the market... this Motorcraft stuff is just another alternative for those deciding between Castrol GTX, Valvoline, Honda (Mobil DriveClean), etc... but since you are using a synthetic, no reason for you to digress in lubrication technology.

Amsoil is one of those extended life type of oils where you can go longer between oil change intervals. You can go at least twice as long between oil changes... don't change simply because it is black...

guys
I have looked for this stuff at three Wal-marts and i don't think they carry this oil anymore - I also called a local ford dealership and the guy was clueless
I ended up picking up some penzoil for this change BUT where do you find the motorcraft stuff
Thanks
