All you ever needed to know about oil, in case you have not discovered it yet:

UOA's posted on there prove how good MC products are.
Not only does MC semi-syn yield fantastic results it's inexpensive. It was a lot cheaper a couple years ago, fortunately I grabbed about 180 litres of it in Michigan summer 2009 for $11.50 a jug and MC fitlers for $3.17 for my truck and boat! Last time I checked wally had it for about $18.00 a jug but the filters were still under $4 IIRC.

False!! LOL, call me crazy but I drive from Canada to the USA just to buy MC oil and filters at Walmart!!
Last batch of FL1a's for my boat were $3.67 and last round of 820's were $4.17 (went up a dollar from 2009 to 2012).
While travelling to FLA this past year we stopped at a # of walmarts and unfortunately the shelves of MC products had been emptied in some stores, I guess they're popular products, hmmm. So we just drove to the next one!

Amsoil at Meijer's.
Been using M1 in my vehicles for years never had an issue. If I had a choice between M1 or Amsoil it would be Amsoil but very pricey. Pulled the valve cover off my old toyota P/U 4 Cyl after 190,000 miles and was still clean with 10,000 mile oil change intervals. I used Mobil 1 since the first oil change. Sold the truck to a buddy and now has over 400,000 miles with no engine repairs. I'm sure MC is great oil as well.
A case of Amsoil 20/50 Syn. Motorcycle oil was $79.99, last time I checked.

Mobil 1 isn't what it used to be. Motorcraft is a great oil for the money. I like Amsoil. Redline is a quality oil as well. If I was going to spend the money I'd go with Amsoil otherwise I would stick with Motorcraft.
LOL... Do you know how silly you are saying "False"? I doubt these people are just lying about what they are seeing. What benefit does it do them? Think about that for a second...
Walmart does in fact sell Motorcraft oil in certain regions. Here in Florida they sell it the brand. They sell a few weights and quite a few filters.

My local Walmart doesn't carry the FL500S either so I get my oil at Walmart. Then I drive about 1 mile to Advance Auto Parts to get a FL500S filter. I still get my FL1A filters for my Bronco at Walmart to save a buck or so.

My local walmart stopped carrying mc oil about a year ago. They still have some of the older filter styles, but have never carried the FL500S. No matter, my dealer only charges me $20 for an oil change, for an EB. I could barely get the supplies for that, I will let them deal with it.

I made this thread a while back when I was having the same debate as you.

After having the oil analysis done to compare M1 and Motorcraft I decided to make a switch to motorcraft.

whats the warranty issue.... the dealer told me that if the motor has any trouble and it doesnt have MC parts on it (oil , filter , belts hoses ect ... ) ford can say no to motor warranty .... they said they have one in the back now w/ 15k miles on it that ford denied because of no MC oil of filter and no receipt for MC parts .... he told me this because he knows i own my own towing and repair business and wanted to make sure i kept receipts and made tickets with mileage on it for the oil changes i do
