Oil was Ford dealer fill in July 2018 so I'm assuming it was Motorcraft Blend. Very well could be SN+.

First uoa on my new to me F150. I'll take it! Going to go with 7,500 mile OCI.

I collected these VOAs from BITOG when the GC craze was in full force. I didn't note which Labs did the analysis.

I've got an old spreadsheet somewhere that has VOAs of different batches of GC from when it was first available. I'll see if I can find it and post the numbers.

These are for the A4 1.8T I had. The center 3 uoas are for GC 0w30 from the same stash. The 2006 and 2008 uoas are probably M03xxxxxx but the 2010 may have been M4xxxxxxx. I can't find the original post here so here is original Blackstone reports. Btw: my GC stash was 150+ qts of all Green...

This GC is from my stash and has a date code M04xxxxxxxx so it's 11 years old. Got 19 qts left - not quite 3 OCIs worth. From the last UOA I found a missing clip on the air box that was allowing air to bypass the filter. New clip and good seal on the air box fixed the extra wear. Some of extra...

The Delo 400 LE for sample dates 9/5/15 and 5/2/14 is the same oil. This is an extended OCI for 2 OLM cycles. I now have Rotella T6 in as I prefer the easier cranking of the 5w40 over the 15w40 during the late fall, winter, and early spring months where this truck get used the most, i.e. hunting...
