IOLM > 0%. Added 1.3 qts. make up oil.

Another boring sample. The truck just turned over 100,000 miles. The only engine maintenance OT oil changes is spark plug replacement at 91,000 miles and a coolant change tomorrow.

Oil is semi-synthetic, Motorcraft filters since new.
 
Nice work, Kendall GT-1 5W-20 every 10,000 miles for 100,000 total.

I'm no UOA expert, but it's good to see the variation from analysis to analysis. It shows that it takes more than two UOA to establish a trend or baseline.

Out of interest, I believe the nominal values for this oil are:
Phos = 770 ppm
Ti = 100 ppm
Zinc = 850 ppm
With Sulphated Ash at 0.96 % and 8.0 for the starting TBN.

Thanks for posting.
 
And here is the PQIA VOA for the semi-synthetic Kendall GT-1 5W-30.

Yes it's a different viscosity but the Zn, Mo and Ti numbers look very similar to yours. However the Boron at 237 ppm is much higher in the VOA.

Does Boron get "consumed" in use ?

Kendall is good stuff. I hope to get those good numbers out of my 5.0....will see next OC.
 
Of course, make up of 1.3 quarts per 10k miles is boring... Wake up when it be couple of liters per 5k. Oh, I know, I know, "this is normal", "all engines consume oil", etc.
 
Kendall is a very good oil, especially over the last 5 years or so. CP has really put together a nice formulation.

Yeah... been on that bandwagon for a while now.

This post is useless.
 
OP, I have basically the same truck, except 2014 with hardly any mileage, any other issues with the truck? 4x4 or 4x2?

Knock on wood ours has been great so far, but with under 20k km's I'd expect it to be.

It absolutely shows up as a lower number in UOAs. When I used to run Delo 400LE with virgin boron starting at above 500 ppm, it would be down to 90-150 ppm after a 20k-25k mile oci (heavy duty use).

Molakule has said he believes it is masked by acid build up accumulated throughout the oci, not that it's "used up". I asked about this myself in the past.

Edit- another nice run OP...glad to see all is well.

Hi DustyRoads,

Thanks for that, very helpful.

Mine is an XLT 4x4. In the first 100,000 miles I have replaced 1 set of front pads and rotors, two sets of tires, 1 set of wiper blades, a tail light bulb and a license plate light bulb. At 92,000 miles I replaced shocks and struts because I noticed a little bounce in the rear end and am picky about suspension maintenance. At 91,000 I replaced plugs and boots as recommended and at 100,000 I had the coolant changed. A faint chirp started in the engine compartment on cold startup last fall. It goes away in two minutes or less. The dealer diagnosed it as an idler pulley and replaced the pulley, belt tensioner and both belts. I doubt that it's fixed but they are all items that are subject to wear so we will see.

I bought this truck based on how the Crown Vics have held up at work. We generally beat on them for over 100,000 miles with only minimal problems. It's the best truck I have ever owned and my first new Ford ever. Today my family now has 2 Escapes, a Focus, an Expedition, an Edge and a Lincoln MK-somethingorother. Nothing makes a company get their act together like imminent doom. Ford figured it out and they are building good stuff today. Time will tell if GM and Fiat get the message.
 
I did do a VOA through Polaris Labs a few years ago on this oil. Results are here: http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubb..._w.#Post2702434 At that time Boron was 205. Motorcraft semi-syn 5W-20 VOA came in recently at 234. The MC is another Phillips 66 oil (formerly Conoco Phillips). The MC doesn't contain Ti. Since I started this truck on Kendall - first oil change at 3,000 miles-I will stay with it.
