those arguments are likely based on outdated thinking, not on fact. The heavier synthetics such as Mobil 1 15w-50 & Mobil 1 0w-50 are very well suited for Ford FE engines & the FSB's as well.


If your FE leaks with a synthetic oil, it indicates your seals were holding deposits and need replacement. That's not the fault of the oil. In any case, such seepage usually goes away once the oil has reconditioned the seals, if not, replace the seals, not the better oil.

2 cents,
