I think the big difference is the cam and chains require different oil compared to pushrod engines. Chain engines require a very different oil due to shearing. Modern oil pumps also shear oil depending style. I think MC oil is some of the best available for any chain driven, VCT engines. Heat is the next issue. 10k mile changes for v8. Idk what’s recommended for ecoboost intervals. I’m skeptical of 10 k even on the V8.
If there selling sub, bulk oil, I’d find another dealer.
Most know all oils are not the same by weight.
I change mine every 8000 KM (5000 M) using the dealership oil on my last 2 trucks and now this one. The 2 old trucks have close to/ or over 250,000 KM with no motor problems at all. One I sold to a buddy and he now has over 450,000 Km on the 5.4 with no problems.

I always use the motorcraft bulk oil at my dealer $53 out the door for 7.7 qts of MC 5w30 and a MC filter. They fill up my squirt bottle and check the diffs /transfer case fluids by color too. the barrel of oil is in view. Just hard to beat.

I’ve been impressed with MC oil I use 5/20 in both my Honda Cars too.

My receipts from the dealership call out Motorcraft parts and part numbers. Although I have no evidence that's what they actually put in, seems like they would be in deep shit if they were using a no name brand and documentation says otherwise.

In Calgary a lot of dealers buy 45 gal drum of esso oil and despite what they claim either Wix or Purolator makes their filters

I could not complain about those products.

My dealer uses bulk oil as well. The best part is $79.00 for the first oil change and the second oil change is free. They do the check over and I don't have to get rid of the old oil.
