Engine oil IDEMITSU or Motorcraft
Reviews
Full synthetic Motorcraft for my Shelby, Roush, SHO, and Focus 1.0 ecoboost.
Ford performance oil filter for the Shelby. Motorcraft for the others.
Why? I had a Ford tech tell me any and all problems they'd ever seen with a Shelby engine involved one that used non-Motorcraft brand in engine or filter.
Pros: no problems with engine
Vehicle:
Ford
I run 10w30 motorcraft because my 300 doesn't dry start as bad with it
Pros: reduces dry start
Vehicle:
Chrysler
Idemitsu is responsible for the oil that powered the Mazda 787b; they know the rotary like no other. I exclusively use their synthetic 20w50 and premix.
Pros: knows rotary like no other
Regarding brands, if you want to stick with factory oil without dealer price, Idemitsu is the brand to get. I emailed Mazda corporate and they said Idemitsu is the OEM for their oil.
Pros: OEM for Mazda oil
Vehicle:
Mazda 3

Pros: original oil, conforme manual

I have a Sohn kit and run Idemitsu engine oil in the engine and Idemitsu premix in the Sohn. Runs lovely and smooth and the original cat is still doing the job.
Pros: runs lovely and smooth

'17 f150 5.0l with 150k running 5w-20 motorcraft. Not a single problem and this was used to haul a 12' steel enclosed trailer loaded from day 1 and the wind blows a LOT here. Doesnt use a drop of oil.
Pros: no problems, no oil consumption
Vehicle:
Ford
Mileage: 241402 km
We use Idemitsu for engine oil and transmission and red line for front and rear diff. Red line makes a good fluid for the transmission also.
I run motorcraft in my mustang and have zero complaints.
Pros: zero complaints
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
