I recently performed a UOA on my fairly new F150 5.0. This was 2900 miles on the oil (Motul 5w-40 X-Cess Gen 2), 4700 - 7600 miles on the engine. I do understand the truck is still breaking-in and it takes some time for wear metals to flush out, I'm mostly interested in seeing is if some of my...

2023 F150 5.0 tuned on E40. 2900 miles on the oil. This is from 5700 - 7600 miles on the truck, still pretty new. What do you guys think? Wear metals are a bit higher than I expected, but maybe I am still flushing some stuff out. This truck sees lots of short trips / city driving. The additives...

Should I should do my oil changes more often with using E40 - E50 in general in my tuned F150 5.0? I plan on doing my first UOA soon and I’m debating on the mileage to do it.

We just added this Pro-X to the family. My wife’s new truck. Coming up on the first break-in oil change. I’m going to go with 5w-30. I tried hard to find some kind of reference to approved viscosities in the US service manual, but nothing. Even a Nissan tech could not find anything other than...

2023 F150 5.0 / 3.373. Averaging 55 - 65 MPH. Motul X-cess 8100 Gen2 5w-40 / E40 as the fuel. 100 degree weather. First pic is strictly highway from onramp to exit. Second is the return trip with 15% city. No mountains, no tailwind, none of that. These are normal conditions in the metro Atlanta...

I have to admit, I have not done a UOA in awhile, but I have my own personal system, not nearly as scientific. I pay pretty close attention to MPG and often reset the trip computer on certain sections of my commute. I do understand many variables affect MPG, but what I have consistently found...

Funny, I actually spoke with Lake Jr about his recommendations for my f150 before i picked it up. I added my own recipe a bit, but he is a nice guy and very knowledgeable. First OCI at 500 miles. I am running 40 weight, but I am also a big fan of Ceratec’s solid modifier. Cold start protection...
