2019 Ford 1.5L EcoBoost - RGT 5W-20, 1,843 mi.

I took this sample before sending the car to the dealer for coolant loss. They replaced the short block.

2019 Escape with 9150 miles, had changed the oil once using RGT 5W-20 and a Bocsh 72161WS filter.

Wear metals look high to me but not alarming, it was a new engine still with LOTS of idling and in-town driving. Will keep tabs on the replacement. I intend to keep using whatever 20-grade synthetic I can get cheap with whatever jobber filter I have on the shelf

Was the head gasket leaking external?

Pretty stout flashpoint for a 5W-20.

Pretty high wear metals but then next OCI should be interesting.
