I sell it and refund shipping on sales above $100.00 per order upon request (not company policy but I did not like paying the shipping before I became dealer so I eat the shipping).
I'm upgrading website with my sponsor this month.

I'm on the fence. I've never used full synthetic in my trucks but I've always used Mobil 1 in my imports. Never had a problem with either. Ran three 4.0 Rangers to 250,000 miles on conventional oil...torn apart all three...clean as a whistle. If you ask me, it's more about the quality of the oil and its detergency than whether or not it's synthetic or conventional. That's just me, please don't flame me.

# Measurably better low and high temperature viscosity performance
# Better chemical & shear stability
# Decreased evaporative loss
# Resistance to oxidation, thermal breakdown and oil sludge problems
# Extended drain intervals with the environmental benefit of less oil waste.
# Improved fuel economy in certain engine configurations.
# Better lubrication on cold starts

correct, there are only a few sources of the base oil stock.

so how about Motorcraft oil? It's designed by Ford. But it is a blend though right? Plus it is a alot cheaper. I dunno about leaving oil in a vehicle for over 3k miles no matter what kind of oil is in there. I was going to go with extended performance Mobil 1 so I wouldn't have to change the oil as much but now I'm think I want to strictly put Ford products on this Ranger. What do you guys think about Motorcraft Synthetic blend?

That really means nothing. EOLCS is a voluntary licensing and certification. Companies have to apply and pay to get certified. Amsoil just doesn't buy in to it.
