Phosphorus

Phosphorus is used in the new Motorcraft oil to reduce wear. You don't see that on other oil containers.

I was hoping someone could enlighten us with a shining recommendation. I see Ford is using 1.25 gallon containers so you only need 3, at a cost of $18.53 per.

I guess I am a tester, since I have always used Motorcraft motor oil, and plan to continue.
I hope Ford's endorsement of Motorcraft continues.

It doesn't show on the front but i think it has a different rating than Cj4.

I remember seeing but not only skimming a TSB that came out at work that addressed that oil. If I remember right, the new diesels required that different rating whereas all the older fords, cummins, cats, and detroits did not. I did not read it because i do not have any new ford diesels that i maintain but can read it next week.

I could see that knocking an oil sample off if you perform those regularly.

Thank you. If all the new CK-4's have to meet Ford's F1 rating, it would seem it is the top of the lube chain. I am going with it next week if everything checks out. I have only used DELO 400, but they have not made the list YET.

Here is the list that of oils that currently meet Ford's WSS-M2C171-F1 that F-350 posted:

Thanks again!

Thank you. I was hoping to see DELO 400 on there, but glad to see Motorcraft meets it's own specs and made the list.

Is Valvoline CJ4 good to use? Wonder if they have it in 5w-40w for winter?
