The Motorcraft oil I ran once put out way more fumes and odor from my CCV mod than the Rotella that I now run does. Rotella seems to have better cold start performance as well (below freezing weather).

Me and i,m sure the rest of us agree with Adam, trying to sell you their oil. I've been running Rotella 5w-40 syn till 97,000 then Schaeffers 9000 5-40 syn till now at 120,000 and not one oil related problem whatsoever, go for the Rotella..

Rotella 5W40 or 15w40 and a Motorcraft filter. No problems running 5k per oil change!

Also, most use Motorcraft filters which can be purchased at Wally World (Wal-Mart) for about $10
