Originally Posted By: Spector As I noted many many times due to my own testing, changing the filter half way through an oil change is useless, it does nothing to affect the UOA results. A useless appendage! It seems you are right. I am new here and have been reading about Auto Rx and was...

Originally Posted By: slalom44 Great results. More proof that SSO holds up well on long OCIs. I'm assuming that the second UOA was done with the filter change at 140,000 miles, not at 150,000 miles as shown. That is correct. I ran the same oil from 130 to 150 but changed the filter (820S) at...

Originally Posted By: lazaro OMG! those numbers have to be wrong! Amsoil never has readings like that! Most all the samples are taken at half those miles and the results are not this good! all the local dino experts will agree this results are false. Now to the regular program! Amsoil used as...

I made my second 20K mile OCI on Amsoil 0W-30. I do mostly freeway driving and try to keep my car in top shape. As compared the last UOA, I changed the filter(820S) at 10K into the run, rather than every 5K like I did last time. I filled the filter with about 1/3 quart prior to installation. The...

I just use a regular Motorcraft 820S oil filter. I don't know what a bypass filter is.

It was "Signature Series" or the newer brand. I do let the oil soak into the filter and not much spills out, since I do not fill it to the top. I would think an 820S would not take more than a third of a quart, having done it a few times. The oil was also in the pan for about 6 months. I freeway...

I precharged the filters when I changed them at 5K mile intervals, but that was it. My 4.6L doesn't really use oil. The silicon is high, but it's high in the virgin oil, and the anti backflow valve in a Motorcraft 820S is silicon rubber. I don't know if that is relevant or not. After reading...

I ran my Amsoil for 20,000 miles but changed the 820S every 5,000 miles. I drive mostly freeway and change my PVC when I change the oil. My CV doesn't use any oil that I can detect, alghough I would preload the new filter prior to installation. I'm new to UOA, but it looks like it made it fine...
