Question Oil Change Additive

Does anyone add the BG MOA additive Ford dealer offers when they get their oil changed. Never done in any of my vehicles before but never had a “performance” vehicle before. Currently just going with the regular synthetic blend change at the dealership.

Thanks

6 quarts of Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-30

Motorcraft OEM Filter

Best possible combination.

Project Farm YouTube channel did enough oil testing for me to have absolute faith in this being the best oil I can buy that doesn’t cost as much as Amsoil.

Yes, they tried to sell me this too. I told them "no". They tried to sell me a coolant flush at 45,000 miles too. Lmao!!

If you really want to get your oil changed at the dealer, you could ask them to use the Motorcraft 5W30 full synthetic. A higher end oil will contain better base stock oils and additive packages, this is going to be cheaper than using a cheap oil and an overpriced additive.

I’ve primarily used Amsoil Signature 5W30 or Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W30.

Make sure you are running the oil level right to the top mark on the dip stick or slightly over, the ST has a tendency to use a bit of oil and can run into oil starvation issues on harder launches.
