So they scraped the bottom of the barrel for @GW. !!! Lol sarcasm ofcourse

Your doing the lords work buying that inferior old formula (sarcasm ofcourse) so that we can get to the superior new formula

I would say if the full sump R&P runs didnt do it, the residual wouldnt be the dominant cleaner here.

Placebo is the most comforting oil analysis around

I like the wearcheck kits from HPL. Blackstone to me is fine if all you care about is wear metals but their viscosity measurements can be all over the place compared to other labs and they estimate fuel dilution based on flashpoint. Other than that their wear metals and additive counts seem to...

Thats original. 7165 is original formula

Its probably more like 5-10%. Definately not 75%. The remaining base stock is likely various PAOs and then the ANs plus additive package

Pretty much what i was thinking to, the only thing odd i did during this run was the night before i changed the oil i was at a carshow cruise night and idled thru town for about an hour and definitely goosed it more than a few times lol! Not sure if maybe the throttle blips and letting off right...

Any thoughts on the fuel dilution? I dont recall really seeing 5.7s with fuel dilution

Thats what i was thinking! Im excited to see the next one!

Page 4 list 4 different PAOs FWIW

Yup! Just wanted to track everything from new even though i know its kind of a waste at this point

i imagine if its an ilsac flavor all these manufacturers will slowly start to introduce a dexos 0w-30 since GM trucks will have a large need for 0w-30. Maybe engines like the 2.7turbomax will move to 0w-30 as well

Yup

This would be ideal

Well it does say Dexos 1 Gen 3 so id imagine ILSAC flavors. But should mean we will get some new oils like Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0w-30

VOA for comparison

This is the Third oil change. Included is also the factory fill that I ran till 972 miles. I then did the second change which was Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w-20 and changed that at 2500 miles. I have a sample for that to send in to I just havnt yet. Overall I am satisfied with how its breaking...

Maybe he thought it was better to ask here rather than waste their time by calling there to ask a question that perhaps someone here knows the answer to already

I do the same. Rust proofing should be done regardless but the ram and ford coating does produce a longer lasting product
