Engine oil IDEMITSU or OEM FORD

OEM FORD Engine oil

My Ford Freestyle with a 3.0L takes 6 quarts, while my Pontiac Grand Prix with a supercharged 3.8L takes 4.3 quarts. Go figure. I was shocked when I saw how much oil the Ford takes.

Vehicle: Ford Freestyle

IDEMITSU Engine oil

I think Idemitsu is the better option if you have access to it. Mostly because it was developed for the rotary engine.

Pros: developed for rotary engine
Cons: hard to find

IDEMITSU Engine oil

I stick to Idemitsu. I have a Sohn adapter fitted, so it's 10-30 Idemitsu in the engine, twice a year and Idemitsu Premix in the Sohn adapter and in the fuel tank.

Pros: idemitsu in the engine

OEM FORD Engine oil

On a side note, if anyone really wants to see what their oil change interval should be, just get an actual oil sample analysis done. Per the lab reports, I can get 8k miles on quality synthetics and still have a good safe margin for oil life.

Pros: good safe margin
Mileage: 12875 km
