Motorcraft synthetic in the LS3?
So I have a family member that works at a ford dealership. She gets me discounts on service. I went down and asked for a Mobil one oil change. They ended up putting motorcraft synthetic in it. I didn’t realize it until after I got home and looked at my receipt. Should I be concerned? Car is running fine but is this a no no or no biggie?

It's really hard to find a bad oil these days.
You're fine. I'm running BMW oil in mine! haha

I promise you the oil will not be able to tell the difference between a GM and Ford motor.
It will lubricate the same.
