TL;DR API SQ + ILSAC GF-7A certified, with GM dexos1 Gen 3 and Ford WSS-M2C961-A1 approvals covering the 2015-2020 F-150 5.0L and V6 engines. The 20,000-mile drain label claim is aspirational: community oil analysis data supports 10,000-15,000 miles on typical daily-driver use. California Prop 65 warning applies.
PAO Group IV full synthetic certified to the current top-tier GF-7A/API SQ specification, with the broadest Ford OEM approval suite available for a consumer motor oil. The 2015-2020 F-150 5.0L Coyote V8 and naturally aspirated V6 both specify 5W-20, and Ford WSS-M2C961-A1 is confirmed on the current Mobil 1 EP product page. Community used-oil analysis from BITOG forum threads shows the Extended Performance additive package maintaining healthy protection at 10,000-15,000 miles on daily drivers; the 20,000-mile label claim requires highway-dominant, light-load conditions to achieve.
The SDS on file was last revised in 2015, eleven years ago. The H-codes here reflect that revision; the current formula is certified to GF-7A/API SQ, which postdates the SDS.
Best for 2015-2020 F-150 owners running the 5.0L, 3.3L, or 3.5L naturally aspirated V6 who want a GF-7A full synthetic with full Ford WSS approval coverage and an extended-drain margin. Also strong for 2020+ GM owners needing dexos1 Gen 3. Skip if you prefer a shorter 5,000-mile interval and a less expensive conventional or standard synthetic -- the premium of the EP line is the extended-drain additive package, which is unnecessary at shorter change intervals.
The SDS classifies this product as not hazardous: no signal word, no GHS hazard codes at mixture level. H304 aspiration hazard does not apply (kinematic viscosity at 40 degrees C is 49 mm2/s, above the 20.5 threshold that triggers the classification). The Prop 65 warning covers the ZDDP additive family present in the formula and used-oil skin-contact caution per SDS Section 16; IARC classifies mineral oil mist from used-oil combustion byproducts as a Group 1 carcinogen based on occupational studies, not occasional oil-change contact. Used oil goes to collection, not down the drain. AutoZone, O'Reilly Auto Parts, and most municipal hazardous-waste facilities accept used motor oil.
Yes. The current formulation meets Ford WSS-M2C961-A1 and WSS-M2C945-A/B1 approvals, which cover the 5.0L Coyote V8 and 3.3L/3.5L naturally aspirated V6 engines in the 13th-gen F-150. Check your owner's manual for the exact spec number; if it calls for 5W-20, this oil qualifies.
The 20,000-mile claim is backed by Mobil's engine-protection guarantee, but that covers engine damage rather than guaranteeing every engine reaches 20,000 miles under all conditions. Community used-oil analysis data from BITOG forum threads shows Mobil 1 EP maintaining healthy additive levels at 10,000-15,000 miles on normal daily-driver use. Severe-duty driving shortens that interval. The 20,000-mile target is most achievable under highway-dominant, light-load conditions.
GF-7A is the current top-tier ILSAC gasoline-engine oil specification, launched in March 2025. It adds improved chain-wear protection, timing chain durability, and fuel-economy benchmarks over GF-6A. Most vehicles built through MY2026 specify GF-6A or earlier; GF-7A is backward-compatible, so using it in an older engine is fine. Newer vehicles may begin requiring GF-7A as the standard rolls out.
Only if your owner's manual or oil filler cap specifies 5W-20. Viscosity grade is set by the OEM based on engine tolerances. The 2015-2020 F-150 5.0L Coyote V8 and naturally aspirated V6 engines specify 5W-20; using a heavier grade does not improve protection and may slightly reduce fuel economy. The 2.7L and 3.5L EcoBoost engines specify 5W-30 -- use the correct grade for your engine.
Yes. Amazon lists this product as carrying a California Prop 65 warning. The ZDDP additive family present in Mobil 1 EP formulations includes compounds with California reproductive-hazard classifications. The warning level is consistent with typical motor oils sold in California. For occasional oil-change contact, the exposure level is materially lower than the occupational scenarios that drive the listing.
