    2013 Taurus SHO

    That wear is pretty bad. Hate to sound repetitive, but Castrol Magnatec seems to work wonders in these engines. For now, wouldn't run any oil past 5k until wear settles down.

    ILSAC GF-6 delayed passed expected 4/1/2018 date.

    I know they are on two different timelines, but it seems like the next level of diesel specs are all sorted out... I thought they would be harder than gasoline engine specs to finalize?

    2005 Tundra V6 AMSOIL OE5w-30, 21,500

    For the interval, I'd say the results are great. ...but you can see the major stress the oil is under - it has thickened from 10.5 to almost 12cst, and TBN is technically gone.

    Petro Canada supreme synthetic

    Petro-Canada makes really good oils, use with confidence. Their regular 5W-30 ran the best of any oil in my 2002 Cavalier.

    Surprised you got 240k out of a Ford 3.8....you must be a glutton for punishment! I'd hate to hear how many repairs that took!

    Update on the Focus-TCM replacement

    I was one of the people who mocked you for being so quick to change-up cars the minute you didn't like one, but I'll be honest, if I was in your shoes, I'd ditch the Focus ASAP...you do a lot of commuting, and it sounds like it is going to become one problem after another.

    1980 STP 10w-50 Oil Ad

    My favorite ad for this oil is the one that shows how clean your engine would be if you use this for 15k miles; and it shows an oil pan coated in thick, dark brown-black goop...lol! I posed the question of who made this a while ago, and a poster on here thought it was Atlantic Ritchfield that...
