I wasn't aware oem and motorcraft were different. Obviously they can still be sold as genuine parts. Does this mean they meet fords criteria and should still be fine?
I've bought motorcraft products for most maintenance items believing I was replacing with what the car came with from factory.
I think it's still superior to non genuine.

Ford as many OEM parts have a stricter quality standard basically for the production line, Ford service parts quality is just that little bit less and offer a good quality cheaper alternative.
For me personally I always prefer the original OEM genuine, followed by Motorcraft followed by general aftermarket. In some instances, there is no OEM choice and Motorcraft is the only option. When they run out, you have to go with quality aftermarket.
Let me know if you need assistance.
