This truck has an mishimoto intercooler, 180tstat, 5* 93 octane tow tune, upgraded transmission cooler. This OCI had approx 500 miles of towing trailers between 4k-7k. Let me know your thoughts. Edit: Oil filter was a Carquest Red R84502

They were purchased from RA as repackaged wix filters when they went on sale for $2 each. They were not identical when I received them. Some looked exactly like the motorcraft, and others had slight variation.

2014 Ford F150 3.5L twin turbo ecoboost Another oil change, another blackstone report. This truck has the following modifications: 93 octane 5* tow tune, Mishimoto intercooler, 170 t-stat. Mild towing again with up to 7k# trailers. Probably between 500-700 miles of this interval was towing...

I have such a huge stock of RGT(AAP sales w/rebate), I don't think I'll be switching oil anytime soon. I'm pleased with the results of RGT. I've just added a new intercooler a few weeks ago, so it'll be interesting to see if it makes any difference (probably won't).

2014 F150 3.5L ecoboost with 93 octane tow tune. Mild towing this time around with around 500 miles towing multiple trailers ranging from 2k-7k. Motorcraft oil filter used. In the mornings, I usually remote start my vehicle 30 seconds before jumping in and taking off. This vehicle is used in...

2014 F150 ecoboost using castrol edge 5w30 for a oil change interval of 7,648 miles. Numbers are reported in the image attached. Truck is 93 octane tow tuned with a 180degree t-stat. This oil change interval had over 1.5k miles of towing multiple trailers up to 7k lbs. Lots of cargo weight in...

Just changed the oil today and will send out for analysis this week. Did 7500 miles on Castrol edge with lots of towing, should be interesting results. Also getting tbn.

UOA attached. Still tuned and decided to extend the drain interval this time. Lots of towing, including a 5-6k lbs tractor multiple times.

new update attached had lots of towing 2-3k lbs and sometime up to 5-6k lbs towing with tractor. Still 5* 93 octane perf/tow tune.

I've got about 5200 miles on the magnatec as of now. I'm taking a trip this Thanksgiving and will be changing the oil very shortly. A sample will be sent for analysis when the oil is changed. I've been lucky and have picked up many quarts and 5 gallon jugs of rotella gas truck now that it's on...

Attached is my 2nd UOA for my Tuned & 180 tstat F150. This go around had some mild to heavy towing between 3k lbs boat and a 6-7k lbs tractor and trailer. I've been attempting to stay between 4-5k on the oil changes, should i extend it out further? I replaced the PP with Magnatec 5w-30. Will...

I have this "pump", and have somewhat abused it. I believe it says in the instructions for oil use only. I have used this for transmission fluid and front diff fluid on my Ecoboost f150. It has been used to extract and refill, and it's much better than using the hand pump you put on top of the...
