Disregard post with same title it was the wrong file uploaded. This is the correct one. Anyway, I was a little surprised that fuel dilution was lower. I do very short trips especially in the winter here in MT. I'm thinking of doing 4,500 or even 5,000 for this run as I have some pretty long...

It was making the noise at startup. Brought it to the dealer that I bought it from, and they did the repairs. Had the phasers, timing chain, guides, and tensioners done. Warranty covered all of it after I paid the $100 deductible. I paid to have them replace the water pump and also bought a...

I was going to do a longer OCI maybe up to 4K. But with the fuel dilution I don't think that would be a good idea. I was also thinking about doing Mobil 1 ESP 0w30. But I'm still under an extended warranty and I don't know if that would mess with that at all if I used the ESP. The wear metals...

Ok. Forgive this rookie. I tried to upload it as a jpg file and it didn't seem to work. FML.

So a little background. I had the phasers and related parts done at 105K Miles. Drove about 450 Miles on whatever synthetic they put in after the repair. Then did this OCI. Fuel dilution is about what I expected with this engine. This run was a mix of short trips (less than a mile during the...

Sorry, I haven't posted a report before. When I go to attach the report it says "the uploaded file does not have an allowed extension." It's a PDF file. What am I doing wrong?

I see how you did that. I wasn't thinking of the conversion. My bad. The way I calculate it you would come out with the same figure.

I've heard something similar to this and it's what I'm thinking of doing this winter. (Your math is off) If you take 200X4 you get 800. 800 gallons of fuel is a long drain interval. If you got 20 miles to the gallon that would be a 16,000-mile interval. I heard it was a 50X oil sump capacity in...

What makes Mobil 1 Truck and SUV stronger? I'm not challenging you, genuinely curious as to what it is due to. (higher flash point, add pack, etc.?)

Take the "out of spec" comment out. What I think he's trying to say is that you can spend more money and get a longer drain interval. So, use used oil analysis to figure out what's the best drain interval for the oil you're using. Or find out what oil gives you the longest drain interval and...

That's a question I would like to know also. I use Mobil 1 Extended Performance High Mileage in my 3.5L Ecoboost. I'm in Montana. By the end of this OCI it will be late Oct or early Nov. I used Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W-30 last year and it worked fine. I'm just more of a fan of M1. (No reason...

Ya. Well you definitely want to do a 60/40 or even 70/30 mix instead of the standard 50/50.

Montana has entered the chat. HA HA We normally get a few days here in the -30's each winter. I run Mobil 1 Extended Performance High Mileage 5w30 all year. Unheated garage at home, but out in the elements at work. Last year we had a 4-5 day stretch in the -30's to -40's, reaching a low of -44...

My '19 F-150 with the 3.5 ecoboost is currently in the shop for a cam phaser job. I've been running Mobil 1 Extended Performance High Mileage 5w30 in it. I'm considering the Mobil 1 ESP 0w30 in it. I live in MT and I like the fact that it's a 0w for the winter but has a higher viscosity and...

3.5L ecoboost

May be a dumb question. My truck is currently in the shop getting cam phasers replaced. (With the timing chain, guides, tensioners, water pump, etc.) When I get the truck back, would it be good to do a short OCI? Maybe 1,000-2,000 miles. Just thinking with the debris from the new metal parts...

Forgive my ignorance.......5ppm/1000 miles of what?
