I would contact them and have them actually test the Fuel Dilution%. They list it as <1 - Estimate. It looks like they tested the last 3, but decided to estimate it this time. I have noticed they do this on other UOA reports from them as well.

My personal opinion is Ford designs everything for 5W-20, but the EB's were shearing 5W-20 down to damaging levels quickly and causing warranty claims that cost money. So they back spec'd them to 5W-30 so they would end up shearing back to a 5W-20 quickly anyway.

Mobil also confirmed for me that there has not been a formulation change to Mobil1 0W-30 AFE and that the WSS-M2C953-A1 spec will be on the new bottles in the future.

Mobil just replied: Yes, Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0W-30 does meet the WSS-M2C953-A1 specification and is a SAE 0W-30. Please see below and click on the link for confirmation. https://www.mobil.com/English-US/Passenger-Vehicle-Lube/pds/GLXXMobil-1-0W30 And that is the current spec for...

The other funny thing is on Ford's website there are 4 revisions to my owners manual. 1 and 2 show the A spec and 3 and 4 show the B1 spec. Before I got answers from Valvoline or Mobil, I bought 2 changes worth of Ford Semi Syn that listed the B1 spec. The only owners manual that matters in the...

I just bought a 2018 Ford Explorer Sport and was looking to see what the story was with WSS-M2C946-B1. I read this thread and also talked it through with my buddy who said I should ask Mobil myself. I also bought a case of Dexos1 Gen2 Napa Synthetic last time it was on sale so I started with...

I keep a stash of oil and filters I buy on sale and keep them on shelves in the basement. On the bottles I tape the receipt to them and for the filters I slide the receipt in the box. In cases when I buy multiples at the same time, I make copies and tape those to the bottles and slide in the...

I was just thinking about this myself. We just picked up an 08 Cixic EX Coupe for my kids to use and its R18 has something like a 3.9 quart capacity with the filter change and the Coyote in my Mustang is 8 quarts. I could get 2 OCI's out of the Civic for what I put in the Coyote. It really...

The car I learned on was my Dad's 1980 280ZX. The first car I owned with a manual was a 1978 Datsun 280Z that we bought at a repo auction.

No worries. And yes, my (minor) worry is a hot spinning Turbo and no oil pressure. I mean, my Dad has a Fusion with an EB 2.0 in it and it has almost 100k on it. It isn't doing any start-stop nonsense mind you, but he is not one of us... His Fusion is what cars are to most people. It's an...

Did you notice that on this UOA it says for Fuel dilution % volume 5 - GC? It looks like they didn't actually test the sample from your Pilot for Fuel dilution but did test the sample from your Civic.

Thanks for posting this UOA. I have been very curious about this since we have a 17 Pilot EX-L that is a mostly a short tripper and an occasional longer trip vehicle as well. So it went from 8.7 to 7.2 @ 100C, but the fuel % I've got M1EP 0W-20 in mine now and will be running a UOA when I...
