2012 Mustang V6 - HPL HDEO 5W-20 - 20,467 Miles

[RDY4WAR]

UOA on my wife's 2012 Mustang with the 3.7L V6. This is High Performance Lubricants HDEO 5W-20, the CI-4 version. The filter was a Fram Ultraguard XG10575 which I will do a C&P on soon. Total miles on the car is 157,065 miles and the oil has 20,467 miles.

Some slight oxidative thickening with the KV100 in 30 grade range which isn't a problem. The silicon increase is likely due to an old air filter (nearly 50k miles) and the fact that it gets driven down dirt roads at least once a week. The TBN still looks good. I changed the oil with High Performance Lubricants PCMO Premium 0W-20 and another XG10575 filter.

It was only down ~1/4 quart at 20k miles.

I didn't know 5mthey made diesel oil that thin. I think I may give this oil a try.

What was the total time in the sump?

@High Performance Lubricants has several oils outside of typical oil grades.

What was the total time in the sump?

Just over a year.

Impressive Fe wear rate; under 1ppm/1k miles for 20k.
I'm curious about the Cu and Na; both are escalating.
As I recall the 3.7L v-6 is based on the same architecture as the 3.5L Cyclone engine, but the longitudinal mounted engines (Mustang and F150) don't have the internal water pump? These are genearlly well-wearing engines.

I'm satisfied with this report. Thanks for posting

RDY4WAR Thank you very much for the Post!
I'll be driving thru Manteno next week. I'll call and see if I can get an appointment/tour.
I've been doing extended drains in my 2011 Ford Expedition with 316k miles for almost 6 yrs and 200k+ miles. I ran M1 for the 1st 100k miles and Amsoil Signature Series Oil ever since with a Dual Bypass System.
I'd like to put HPL and Amsoil Signature Series head to head. I'm due to change both filters in a few months/8,500 miles, and that would be a perfect time to try HPL
(This is the true beauty of this Website and sharing Ideas. I thank all of you!)

thank you for this post, I hope this oil never becomes affordable otherwise I would be running their oil at 25k OCI in my 2GR-FEs that are already on 10k OCIs, I would be saving a lot of resources but not money.
