other lubes that won't take the time to read the
spec, formulate what oil they have, test it & match
'honey'....You could just roll the dice and ignore
Ford's specs, but then Ford have specs for ALL lubes
etc, as do all mfg's..




I know I said I would not continue posting on this thread, but sometimes the bait is just too compelling to keep from responding.

And just how is another lube company going to get that information from Ford? From what Terry said, that information is confidential.
