Changed my oil a couple weeks ago and switched back to T-6 from T5 semi (1 oil change). If you are using T6 and have a failure, Ford has to prove it was due to (say) T6 and then Shell would have to prove otherwise. Kinda like saying WIX filters are no good and only OEM's are. If that's the case, WIX, Baldwin wouldn't be in business. Shell, WIX, Baldwin has to stand behind their products. Whose to say that Shell doesn't make Motorcraft oil or WIX makes Motorcraft filters? Not saying they do, but if they did does that make WIX & Shell bad products or just OEM trying to drum up sales for thier own "branded" items?
Actually, WIX and Motorcraft filters ARE made by the same company!
MANN+HUMMEL makes WIX filters, and owns Purolator who makes the Motorcraft filters.
