Amsoil for Escape

I have a 03 Escape. The Ford dealership just told me I need to follow therecommended oil (motorcraft 5w-20) or it would void the warranty. I don'tprefer to use this as it is a synthetic blend and not 100% synthetic. I haveread some of information regarding this. Most notably the Magnuson - MossAct. It states that a manufacturer may not require a specific brand or typeof aftermarket product unless it is provided free of charge. If yourdealership continues to tell you that you must use 5W-20 motor oil and or/ aspecific brand of 5W-20 motor oil, then ask them to put it in writing.Their position is inaccurate, and, in fact violates existing law.*Has anyone else had troubles with Ford doing this type of business? And isanyone using amsoil 5w-20? I used mobil one in my 01 mustang. And had noproblems with it.Thanks,Greg
