i once cut open a bottle of penzoil to use as a funnel and in the bottom of a brand new quart was quite a bit of sandy looking shi1! Never ever ever ever will i use penzoil... just me
btw you gotta figure that Ford isnt going to use crap oil on cars they carry a warranty on. Ford oil FTW

Just noticed that the semi-synthetic TropArtic bottle looks just like the Motorcraft bottle, with the same design contours.
I'll probably be switching to (API approved) Motorcraft SS at my next oil change just to simplify things while my truck is still under warranty, even if it avoids just one argument with a Ford service advisor it'll be worth it. Didn't think I'd ever have a warranty repair since I've never had a warranty repair done in all the cars I've owned, but at 11,000 miles I already had issues with a bad torque converter and a bad converter housing (pump housing?)

You could use Scamsoil XL, it's API certified!

Every weight of Amsoil XL, along with every other form of Amsoil is on my racks right now. And quite a few cases of various Lucas oils too.
You could go chop up some oil filters and cabin air filters and take real pretty pictures of them while you're testing them, and cry a thousand times about it!

No, crybaby, not unless my truck was factory-filled with Amsoil - had the leak from day one. Converter wasn't leaking, btw, but I guess you missed that.
I'm proud that you're such a blistered crybaby that you've got nothing better to do except bawl about non-OEM for years, and will still be throwing your little frustrated rants long after I switch back to Amsoil Signature Series 0w-30.
How's that Gibson exhaust working out for you?

Again, I'm real proud of you for moving out of your Scamsoil cult!!

Wrong, whining stalker, when you checked the torque converter/converter housing thread...you should have noticed the 2 different part numbers listed for the 2 warranty items.
Dealership direct quote:
"Found torque converter to be misbalanced" FP Number: 4L5Z-7902-AARM.
"Found torque converter housing to have porosity" FP Number: 1L5Z-7976-AA.
Never heard of a torque converter being called a "housing", like you just stated - an "assembly" maybe, a "housing"...never.
You could try using your imagination and figure out that Ford may have been talking about a pump body/housing when they wrote "converter housing" if you please. Or you can continue to claim that they're "the same thing!!" and Ford installed 2 converters in my truck, at the same time, if you wish.
I'd be real proud to find out that you argue and scream "!!!!!" at your grandchildren for watching Hannah when you prefer iCarly.

Hey I see what you're saying - You think Amsoil XL would be a perfect choice for now and when API certification isn't a warranty concern, go back with one of the high dollar Amsoils. I'll keep that in mind, but I still wouldn't be opposed to using the Motorcraft or Valvoline blend oils for awhile. Thanks.
Next service coming due soon, decided on Durablend
