Regardless what ford writes, I would rather hear it first hand from the owners rather then the manufactures |

This was due to Castrol Magnatec, GTX and GTX II. The other castrol oils wernt as bad but still did it. I researched it and found that Castrol dont use 'solvents' in their oils. This means that they start to stick to the motor parts when the oil gets s**t. As for me i use Fully synthetic oils like Shell Helix Ultra 5w50 s**t. Its what most of the cabbies use and i know the car has been on it since 150'000km and its now done 290. It reallystop the wear of the engine.
