Here is the UOA of the Ford Transit Connect Super Tech 0W-20 with Lubegard Biotech. 5,000 OCI and I also have Magtech on the oil filter.
2022 Ford Transit Connect - ST 0W-20 with Lubegard (5,000 mile OCI)
- Thread starter jtwrace
- Start date
Here is a report at 60,000 miles with 5,000 OCI. I have switched to Mobil 1 0W-40 since 20,000 miles.
This report is great, and the learning that I would take from it is the the 5,000 mile OCI is where you and everyone else should be.
One shoe doesn’t fit every foot. I went 3x this mileage and only had double the iron, but also had a full 5 numbers of TBN more. Also, my oil did not fall out of grade.
Not saying OP needs to change anything if this is working for him, but blanket statements based on a single snapshot don’t work.
I'm standing by 5,000 as the number. In fact, I think it was the 11th of the 10 commandments handed to Moses by God on the tablets.
A certain site sponsor has about 180 million miles of fleet use UOAs every year @ 15-20k each that proves 5k changes are unnecessary and wasteful when using the proper lubricants.
Even @dnewton3 has stacks of 10k+mi UOAs on conventional oils that shows a blanket 5k statement is uninformed at best. You can certainly change at 5k, but what objective evidence can be used as justification?
