I didn't see Mobil 1 5w-40 on the approved list. Is that because Ford didn't test it?, or it didn't meet Ford's spec? Would you put this in your 6.7?

Heck of a price. If it's not on the list, I wouldn't use it. (I haven't reviewed Ford's list in months)

Yeah. I seen their 0w-40 is on the list but not 5w-40. To bad, Mobil usually makes a pretty good product. I think I'll stick to the old cj delo400le synthetic oil.

It seems that Ford is OK with a straight CK-4 oil, as long as it is designed only for diesel use and does not also carry an SN rating so, that oil should be fine.

From this very site - https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...his-price.html

I say forget the list, go by the standards the oil meets but, here's the official Ford list -

Not sure how old your truck is or how many miles, if it's still under warranty, no way would I use something that's not on the list, why set yourself up for a hassle god forbid something goes sideways. If not under warranty, your decision, personally I would stick with stuff that's on the list. Maybe that's one of the reasons it's so cheap? BCG is correct on the straight CK-4 oil, but only if its manufactured prior to I believe December 2014 (don't take that date as gospel)
