Engine oil MOTUL or OEM FORD

I’m in MD and use Motul 5w30 X-clean EFE

I started using motul 10w40 after my apache rtr 180 crossed 50k kms. It gave the old engine required smoothness and the engine feels stress free.

The 2.3 liter engine on a ford ranger takes 6.2 quarts as opposed to my corolla that took less than a gallon for the 1.8 liter engine.

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.

my 2011 ford fusion oil cap has 5w-20 but when i put that oil, engine noise become loud. Only 10w-30 noise is lower and engine smooth.

I run X-Cess 5w-40, seems great. Takes a little longer to heat up than 5w-30 but I imagine you’d want the high thermal stability it offers in your location.

Motul has been phenomenal for me

Only used Motul 300V 5w30 or 5w40 since I bought the car new in 2009. Today I'm on 178k kilometers and still on the first chain and chain tensioner. No rattle, no oil consumption or what so ever.

I use Motul the best IMHO

I do have slight oil loss but I also track my car several times a year so it's to be expected. Recently switched to 5w-40 motul so we'll see how that does.
