Due to my fuel dilution and viscosity reduction I decided to use a mixture of Esso XD-3 0w30 and 15w40 for this interval. I used 8L of 15w40 and about 6-7L of 0w30. Results are stil the same.
The 15w40 was the new CI-4+ formula.
The wear still looks ok, even with all the fuel dilution. Ford once again will not do anything unless the engine produces symptoms of a bad injector and so far it's running very well.
Should I be worried about the increased sodium?
My driving habits are always the same, plenty of stop and go two nights a week, the rest about 60% hwy and 40% city, no extended idling.
