For a turbocharged engine, I look for an oil that meets HT-06 as well as Ford's specs.

Amsoil SS 5-20 here with their filter too. Used to be a Mobil 1 guy, but since they changed to not true full synthetic no more for me. First change at 1,185 miles second at 6,000 miles (5,000 on the oil). Blackstone UOA said stick with 5,000 mile interval as it showed the engine is not finished breaking in yet. The attached shows results from both.

I'm using 0-20 Quacker State Ultimate Durability synthetic rated 2 for shear protection in an independent study.

Yup that's what I've using as a definitive and objective guide, review and oil Durability test. Very hard to find good honest oil data from some one who has no irons in the fire so to speak. Any study, test or even some oil forums that are either solely conduct by oil companies or their money and support and or advertising will corrupt the data and truth. The only other source of oil information is user recommendations which are highly biased and not based on fact. People will support an oil based on there opinions and feeling saying things like "I've been running X brand and never had an issue" or " after using X brand the engine sounds soooo much smoother now" People's oil opinions are often clouded by pride,mans most would defend there brand X no matter what. Oil is like politics and religion, in that if you believe or have faith, than that all that matter to that person. Not trying to offend anyone here just stating that it's human nature to want to believe what you do or think is right because it's your choice. Sorry I got so deep, now you can refer to me as the oil Nazi

Yep! I agree. Nowhere else have I found a real test with actual data on different oils. For that reason I will listen to it.Yup that's what I've using as a definitive and objective guide, review and oil Durability test.

I'm sure it's a little overkill comparing how many thousands of psi an oil can handle and whatnot, but I like overkill. I'd rather know I have the best, and that may equal out to be an extra 15hp in 100k miles from now, lol.

My NDA has expired now but a few years ago I was in a meeting with Shell's lubricants division and the chemical engineers said they were confident they exceeded the performance benchmarks against every lubricants producer except for Mobile One.

Read this long thread on BITOG about 540 Rat's wear scar testing methods. Lot's of guys over there think his test data isn't really very useful.
