Calcium should be in the 1200-1300 range with the HPL PCMO oils. There should also be Moly in there & only a trace of Boron as I did run the EC30 prior. EC30 has 100ppm of Boron so I don't see the car adding more to that on its own lol

Just got a reply from HPL. Lab messed this one up & that's not HPL's oil, probably not even my vehicle. Still waiting on a reply from the lab.

I'm awaiting their response. Sent them a message a little over an hour ago with the above posted image of HPL's stated concentrations.

This car also spent the majority of its life on Amsoil SS 5/30 with 90% hwy commuting of 25-30mi each way. At 145k mi it was swapped to PUP 5/30 as the commute shortened to just city driving. Did 10k mi OCI's on Amsoil SS 5/30 for the hwy commuting and 5k OCI for the short commute (including...

With what HPL has listed as their elemental information, I'm starting to think that the lab might have made a mistake. Or, possibly that HPL bottled another formula into this batch of PCMO

I was starting to search for other UOA's of the base PCMO 5/30 as this seems to not be in line with many other PCMO UOA's of the higher tier HPL oils. For the iron, I agree. It was a bit high to first look at but there was a small amount of fine particulate in the filter when I did the C&P...

I'm still waiting for the VOA of this oil to come back. I'm curious if there was an error made in the lab

Agree

There were a few things surprising here. That was one of them. No, there are no previous UOA's for this vehicle. Going to do another on the next OCI though. Previous oil was PUP 5/30 with a qt of EC30. From 145k to 175k it used PUP 5/30.

Sample from wife's 2013 Fusion 2.0 EB. Iron is higher than expected but she only commutes about 2mi each way & does 95% city driving/short trips. Viscosity is also a bit lower than expected but fuel dilution came in as <1. Will be taking this car on a vacation next week where it'll see >1k mi of...

Wish I had your gas prices here in CA

Wife’s 2013 Fusion 2.0 Ecoboost is just shy of 185k. Zero issues. Bought it at 20k as a CPO vehicle & was my commuter until 145k. I commuted 25-30mi each way, all hwy, & did 10k mi OCI’s with Amsoil SS 5/30 & an occasional M1 5/30 thrown in. At 145k she took over with it & has an extremely...

My job disappeared there so we were forced to move back in 2016. In-laws recently sold their place in 3F Meadows & followed us up near Sacramento. They’re around the corner from us. I do miss it there. Used to have a little bungalow in MB & a victorian on Vine St. in Paso. Now I just count...

Worked at gas stations while in college in SLO. First one was a full service Chevron in Los Osos. Also have a few good memories of those places & a few awesome customers

If you go to the pic above that one, you’ll see the one below came from a section that had oil soaked blue shop towels right next to the media. I was using those soaked towels to dry the media/wick away what I could before taking pics.

Reef Jay Bays 😂 Yes it’s wire backed. Wire is black so it’s difficult to see but it’s still connected to one of the half’s where I cut the media. Kind of near the box cutter in that photo

Wife’s ‘13 fusion 2.0 ecoboost. 184307mi on car. Just a touch over 5k on this oil & filter. Bought this car as a CPO with 20k miles on it. Was my commuter for several years with a 30-35mi (each way) highway commute. Ran Amsoil SS 5/30 on 10k OCI’s through 140k(with an occasional M1 FS 5/30...

Did a drain/fill on wife’s 2013 Fusion 6F35 (along with engine oil & a few other service items). 184307mi on car. At 175k my friends shop did a flush with Castrol atf(not sure the designation of it). Out: 1 gallon Castrol atf In: 1 gallon Amsoil SS FE atf

Wife’s car. 2013 Fusion 2.0 ecoboost. 184347mi on car. Just a hair over 5k on oil/filter. Out: HPL PCMO 5/30, Amsoil Ea15k-51 In: HPL PCMO 5/30, Fram FE3614 Also did drain/fill on the transmission with Amsoil SS FE atf, cabin air filter & rotated tires. Engine air filter looked brand new...
