Due to the cooler EGR system, a new oil requirement has been developed.
Use only oils that are API service rated CI-4, prefered viscosity SAE 15W-40. Use Motorcraft Super Duty 15W-40 or 10W-30 only if it meets Ford specification WSS-M2C171-D.

I don't believe any of the Amsoil oils you listed actually have an API rated spec. Amsoil advertises like they are API approved but most or all of them actually are not. "Recommended for" is NOT the same as API approved. Caveat emptor as it may affect your warranty coverage.
I think what is listed here is a cut and paste from an other sourse, it still could be incorrect though.

I did not add the sentence just for the sake of it... but because I to thought there were potential "issues" with some of the listings???

I have a new truck with 3,000 miles. I would like to service the truck myself and use the mobil synthetic oil. What do I need to do to be certain I have no warranty problems? Should I keep a log of the dates and milage when I performed service along with receipts for the oil and filters? Will this be enough? Or is it necessary to have the vehicle serviced by the dealer to maintain the warranty?
