Hello, Here is the second UOA from my 2017 F150. I ran Klondike 5w30 synthetic oil for this test. I changed the oil when this sample was taken. I used the Klondike oil and a motorcraft filter again. Let me know your thoughts.

Klondike oil is a relatively obscure brand - I think it's only available in Western Canada. Here is the data sheets for the oil I used. Let me know your thoughts on it.

for interest's sake, here is the first UOA from my 2013 F150 ecoboost.

Hello, Attached is the first UOA from my new truck - a 2017 F150 with the 3.5L Ecoboost. Nothing too interesting to see here, that I picked up on anyway. The oil and filter was changed when this sample was taken. I used Klondike sythetic 5w30 and a motorcraft filter. I plan to complete a UOA...

No I haven't, might be worth a try.

Thanks AdRock, I'll ask my dealer about it.

From new to 60k i used PP, then switched to M1 which I used up to the current OCI (where I switched to Edge). It's hard to say but it seems to me the PP performed better than the M1.

Originally Posted By: 4WD Yesterday I grabbed 3 $10 jugs of FS Magnatec and then looked at the new stock. Only Edge or Dino Castrol ... Yeah, same thing around here - can buy Edge or regular Castrol almost anywhere but Magnatec is almost unheard of.

Originally Posted By: double vanos I'm trying to think, isn't it KJ smith that's put up some stellar UOAs using Castrol Magnetec, which is a semi syn? He has a high mileage 'boost and it really likes the magnetec. Why would I pay M1 prices when I can get a lower priced oil to do better? My'11...
