Question MotorCraft 5w-20 is Synthetic?

Check this post. Is this true? (about MotorCraft 5w-20 being synthetic, not void warrenty)

tarp5350 fords motocraft 5w-20 oil is a synthetic oil the same as mobil 1 I just think mobil 1 has not come out with the 5-20 yet but I am sure they will I would use the SAE 5W-20 Premium Synthetic Blend Motor Oil from motocraft untill mobil 1 comes out with there's, And to answer your question if your dealer wanted to report your engine failer do to using 5w-30 then yes your warrenty would be void. ( but they would have to test the oil first unless you told them)

Motorcraft 5w-20 in the red bottle is semi-synthetic. They can't void your engine warranty for the wrong viscosity. Heck, half the dealers out there use 10-w30. p.s.: i dont even think motorcraft has a 'full synthetic' like mobil 1.
