[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 601075, member: 52972"] Ken, Sorry if I guess that you were much younger than you really are, however that is the typical crap some dealers will pull when they are dealing with a very young and nieve person. I suspect that he said that because Ford dealers only stock Ford's Motorcraft and I don't think they make a synthetic oil. But any oil that meet or exceeds the API (American Petroleum Insittute ratings for your vehicle it is perfectly acceptable to use in your vehicle. The only thing that some auto manufacturers may not agree with synthetic oil is the extended oil change intervals. If the maintenance manual says you must change oil every 6000 miles, they usually don't make any exceptions for synthetic oils that can go 12K-15K miles between changes. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
