IOLM at 0%. Semi synthetic blend oil and a Motorcraft filter were used. Two things happened this cycle: the dealer reflashed the ECU to address several updates and the truck was parked through the coldest part of the winter. I don't know if either one is responsible for the decrease in fuel dilution. The first three numbers are from 5W20 and the last two are 5W30. The next UOA will be for the new Kendall SN plus which no longer uses Ti. The truck has occasional LSPI.

Was this the standard GT-1 Semisynthetic or was this the GT-1 Max full Synthetic?

Your 8 cylinder non turbo engine should not suffer from LSPI. That seems to affect small displacement 4 cylinder engines that have DI and are Turbo. Perhaps you have plain old engine knock or pinging, not as fatal as LSPI.

I guess that FE is ok for an under $20 a Jug oil.

 

[addyguy]

Why do you say the new Kendall doesn’t have Ti?

Fe of 11 in 9910 miles is....just ok?

 

[AITG]

Why do you say the new Kendall doesn’t have Ti?

Because of what Kendall has posted in the product description.

#1. This engine has 16 injectors, not the earlier 8. #2. Ford has a service bulletin re: the subject.

What type of air filter are you using?

 

[AITG]

What type of air filter are you using?

The original Motorcraft. I don't like to disturb the box any sooner than I have to.

Great wearing engine, I'm using Mobil 1 0w40 FS european oil in my 2018 5.0 with a Fram Ultra filter. Mine sees 7500 rpm regularly and it tows quite heavy at times.
