Don't see anything in that video that argues that semi-synthetic is a better choice than full synthetic. Every oil on the shelf meets API SP and almost all now meet API SQ. So what.

If the link doesn't work, go to 6:18 in the video.
This is the reason I use Motorcraft Synthetic Blend, as the manual recommends.

I have never used any other oil than the recommended synthetic blend by Motorcraft in my 2019 coyote 5.0 engine. After watching that video I'm thinking about switching to restore and protect.

I have been using Amsoil in all my vehicles for 2 decades and have never had an issue, even at 7,000 mile oil changes.

LOL watch the video from the beginning - the link lands you halfway through his discussion.

This guy knows his stuff. Been watching his videos for years.
