I just put this oil in my wifes 2000 E320 last week. It will be a while before I'm ready to do a sample on it but I will certainly report back when I do. I'm also going to put it in my old Volvo 240 that has 214K miles on it this weekend as well. It seems like this oil will be good for many...

I'm really hard on this engine. In this 3344 mile sample it had 12 dyno pulls on it and I typically keep my foot the floor on a very frequent basis. I don't drive any different than I always have and by looking at the previous sample I had done the engine was holding up fine. Had I not done this...

I really am impressed with this site. I've been a member for quite a while now but really don't know enough to start adding anything as worthy as you all. Again I to you all and a huge thanks for steering me in the right direction. I've got about 1200 miles on the new oil already of which is...

Thanks guys, I'll put that on my list for tomorrow and change it. I'll let you all know how my next sample looks, hopefully MUCH better..

I sure am glad I posted this here because after reading your advice (concerning an intake leak) I went out and removed the Throttle Body Spacer I had installed about a month ago and saw where I had a leak in the factory o-ring. So it wasn't my slightly deformed filter after all. I'll be...

I wanted to try out the MC oil due to it was a lot cheaper and had done well in my wifes Lincoln Aviator. I have a Volant cold air intake on my Titan and will be contacting Volant to see if I can get a new filter for it. The one that is on it is slightly dented/deformed, which would probably...

Hi all, it's been a while since I've posted over here but I just recieved this oil sample from blackstone yesterday that was horrible. This was taken from my 04 Nissan Titan with a total of 10330 miles on the engine and 3344 miles on the oil. It was Motorcrafts 5W-30 semi-synthetic oil and a...

I looked at the engine and in the service manual and can't find any external oil cooler to help explain the high copper reading. I might have an explanation though, the oil has been changed by the dealer at 5k intervals (free service for life) since we bought it. So technically this is only...

good question bror. I believe you all use the SUS viscosity to figure out exactly what range the oil is in right? If so the sample of 0W-40 M1 that I did came back at 67.9 whereas this sample of 5W-40 came in as 70.6. Would that be enough of a difference to cause it to look like a straight 50W...

Thanks Patman, will do...

Thanks all, you've eased my mind a little. At this change I put in Mobil 1 0W-20 for the first time. I'm anxious to see if it does better than the Motorcraft oil. Would you all recommend I shorten the OCI a bit to see if that helps in reducing the copper? Also the cams in this engine or chain...

I'm definitely going to stick with the M1 0W-40 from here on out. My gas mileage is already better and the power is back. It was certainly the oil that was causing these 2 things to be down. This stuff drained out like sludge and I drained it hot!! This is some really thick oil from what I've seen.

Here's the latest sample from my Titan using Mobil 1 5W-40. I wasn't overly impressed with this oil because it caused my gas mileage to drop between 1 and 2 mpg, overall power was definitely down, and it went down 1 quart in this short sample period. That's the reason I dumped it because it was...

Here's a sample that I find very curious. This is from my wifes Aviator, it has a 4 cam, 4.6L V-8. Weather conditions during this sample run have been mild to warm, engine has been run fairly easy with mostly highway miles. The only time it's run hard is when I get behind the wheel and that's...

Thanks Buster, make sure to drive one AFTER you drive the dodge, I've got a feeling I know what will be in your garage.......
