edyvw Congratulations! You made a Huge upgrade! Pirelli Scorpion tires are complete Garbage, and Michelin Defenders are in my opinion the best Highway Tires made.

CKN That's a Great Question I have no idea how many miles you drive per year on your Wife's Highlander. Since they're OEM tires with 4/32nd's tread left, they have Zero resale value, and are probably sub standard. Since you posted the question, you've obviously thought about replacing the tires...

Dave33X1 This report looks excellent I have a lot of experience with these modular motors, 5.4L 2v, and current 5.4L 3v I would like to see a report that included TBN, and as thastinger suggest above I would run 5w-30 Oil I look forward to your next report, and thanks for sharing

Yes Sir

Fantastic Thanks for noticing I'll check in at 400k miles

Triple_Se7en: Thanks for your reply Changing the Amsoil SS every 10k miles wouldn't fit my motor oil program I've been running a dual bypass system for 8+ yrs/275k+ miles, and 16 UOA's I change the full flow filter every 25k miles, and the bypass filter every 75k miles. I effectively replace 4...

Happy Easter Guys! Hopefully this post isn't too confusing I discussed with Ifixyawata several weeks ago that I had a unique OCI that I was running. I'm 8+ yrs running a (Amsoil) BMK 23-EA Dual Bypass Filter System. I bought the vehicle new in 2011, and ran Mobil 1 5w-20 for the 1st 100k miles...

walterjay Thanks for Posting! I have plenty of experience on this Subject. I have a 2011 Ford Expedition EL 4x4 King Ranch with 376k miles in my signature. I drive lots of highway miles, and rotate my tires @7500 miles. I recently bought my 6th set of Michelin Defenders. They come with 12/32"...

iunderpressure Thanks for posting The math certainly works on a 20k OCI The Oil stayed in Grade Just know that with a TBN of 1.8, the Oil is spent Great Report!

Ifixyawata I have lots of experience with these 5.4L 3v motors. If you're looking for a low cost option for 5k oci's, then go with the cheapest price. SuperTech, Kirkland, Amazon, etc. Bulk 55 Gallon drum, etc Oil Filters by the case. (But that's just Math) I currently drive a 2011 Ford...

Taylor Thanks for the UOA's Looks Great! Stick with the 10k oci's Good Luck

C4Dave That Motor is pretty easy on Oil I had a '99 5.4L 2v Expedition Eddie Bauer 4x4 before my present 2011 Expedition in my Signature. I kept it for 12 yrs and put 325k miles before I sold it to a family member. I ran M1 Ow-40 with a Motor Craft FL 820S Oil Filter I ran an OCI of 5k-10k miles

74DartSport Let's Discuss You've posted 6 UOA's In all 6 of these Posts, the Oil has either Sheared out of Grade, or the Sub 2.0 TBN Oil is spent. Lower your OCI to 10k miles Easy Decision! Thanks for your Post

Insight Yes In August, 2016 I did my 1st UOA on my 2011 King Ranch Expedition EL 4x4 (in my signature)on a 25k run. The Oil was Amsoil SS 5w-20 (I switched to Amsoil SS 5w-30 @250k miles) Back then the vehicle had 125k miles, it currently has 373k miles

Welder Michelin LTX/MS (Current) Michelin LTX/MS2 To me, they perform similarly I just put my 6th set on my 2011 Expedition EL King Ranch 4x4 with 375k miles in my signature High Mileage/Very Quiet (Note: Michelin runs tire specials in Spring and Fall Factory Tires were Pirelli Scorpion I...
