The main mechanic had his master mechanics cert and worked at a Ford dealership for many many years.. He told me that I think at the time it was Havoline mad the oil for Motorcraft cause they had the bid on it at the time. But it was made to their spec's. He did tell me that one of the spec's that Ford has for their oil is it has to cling to hearing surfaces or in other words be sticky. The most wear you get on your engine is when you crank it those few seconds before it builds full oil pressure. That's why they wanted an oil that was sticky and would cling to the bearings, to provide lubrication and protection to all the moving parts while the pump was building pressure. That was one lesson that he tought me that I've always remembered.. That's why I prefer Motorcraft oils...</p></blockquote><p></p>
