    ‘84 Ford Lima 2.3L Turbo - 690mi, 2 years - Edge 0w40

    Pretty sure the lead is from gas additive, I have used octane boosters in the gas and break in lube in the oil the last few changes.

    2019 Ford 2.3T Ecoboost 9k OCI MC-5w30 Full Synthetic

    2019 Ranger with the Ford Performance engine tune and K&N air filter that goes with it. OLM was at 8%. I had fuel dilution over the winter months OCI but none over this spring and summer OCI. Regular commute driving and a few road trips. Looks like the new 2.3 is shearing the oil. Not sure I...

    2014 Cherokee 3.2L Pentastar, PP 5W20 8500 mi

    4th change on my 2014 3.2L Pentastar. It's been PP 5w20 for all but the first change, when I used RP 5w20. This UOA the motor consumed about 1.5qt over the OCI of about 8500 miles. Otherwise everything looks in the clear! I am also using an AFE Pro Dry S dry media drop-in air filter...
