This is the taurus I bought the beginning of last Decemeber. I took this UOA about 250 miles after I replaced the intake gaskets and valve cover gaskets. This report is not near as bad as I thought it was going to be. I changed the oil at a local lube place for a short OCI. They refilled with Universal Ultra Eco synthetic blend and a prime guard filter, which is ok with me as this will be a short OCI to finish flushing out the contaminates and it was cheap. The PO said he used the cheapest full syn from menards, around here that would mean this is PP 5w20, the only 5w20 full syn at menards. It could also be something else like formula shell. The filter was a Fram TG, so with the 99% specs, there must have been a lot of crud in the oil with an insolubles high. Here is the link to pics of the engine, which if there was a little coolant that has been sneaking by for a while, it explains the varnish thats there, if the OP did do 5K OCI on full syn. They are big pics so it takes a few seconds to load. http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2858625#Post2858625
