MNgopher, I consider your testing of the Ford modular engine lubrication characteristics based on used oil analysis to be the gold standard here. No one has yet to match your exacting protocol.

So Ford has gone through all this trouble to wear their engines out sooner?

I'd really rather not make a charitable donation to some wealthy arabs and Exxonmobil. I figure they have enough money.

You'll be happy to know that the largest exporter of oil to the U.S. is now Canada.

At least this is what the Alberta government tells us. There are lots of workers of middle eastern dissent working in the oil sands of Alberta, but I don't think you need to worry about being taken advantage of by these "Northern Arabs".
