[QUOTE="JAJ, post: 11812623, member: 131874"] This issue of Motorcraft 5w-50 being the only oil that meets Ford WSS-M2C931-B spec is an interesting one in light of Magnuson Moss. If I remember correctly, Magnuson Moss specifies that if a manufacturer requires a specific product and your warranty will be at risk if you don't use it, then they must provide it for free for the life of the warranty. That's why BMW M engines that take TWS 10w-60 get free oil changes for the first four years after sale - BMW is serious about using that specific oil, so they comply with Magnuson Moss and customers get it free until the warranty is up. So, if Motorcraft 5w-50 is the only oil that meets WSS-M2C931-B, then does Ford have to provide it for free for the life of the warranty? Or are they in the awkward position of "recommending" it knowing that they can't deny warranty if you don't use it. [/QUOTE]
