Default Re: Oil change

Best to follow Ford's specification, particularly under warranty.
My interest in this thread is mainly to do with conflicting statements from
vehicle manufacturers and oil mixers regarding DPFs, as a has been outlined previously.

For me it's not a good idea to offer advice, better to ask questions.

Wear additives may not be fully compatible,
for example zinc and molybdenum, so swapping oils at random MAY not be ideal, so I'd not swap different oils often.

Just follow Ford or the oil mixers,
you're on your own otherwise. The Ford DPF is OK.

Driving conditions are a big factor, so don't buy a diesel for short trips, you get plenty of soot and little burning off.
