Amsoil 0W-30 with bypass 8440mi F150 4.6 ford

[WDP]

History, 1996 Ford F150, 4.6 V8. Clockwork 4K changes with mostly Mobil Clean oil 10W30 and Fram or STP filters. Changed to S2000 with SDF filter in 11-04 at 83K miles with Amsoil flush. Bypass was added at 87500. Total miles 91740.This sample has total 8440 miles with 4200 of that on bypass. Total 1.5 quarts make up.Oil Analyzers report.

Recommendations- Oil is suitable for continued use.
Also used Militec-1 1oz per quart every 15K for the last 40K miles. Didn't hurt the TBN as I have seen elsewhere on this board. Bypass filter changed after receiving report with 1 qt replacement.
Any comments appreciated.

Solid report. Nothing unusual here. Just have to keep tabs on Amsoil thickening if your pushing it out too far.

Looks like the silicon is higher than it should be compared to the other contaminents. But to me the bypass filter gives confusing results. But that's just me. Like Buster said the Amsoil does thicken up.

I agree with AL you should get better results buy using a NAPA Gold air filter. My Camry had a new Purolator air filter and I switched. It will be a while before we see the UOA.

When oil oxidises it thickens at 40c also , the groovy ACEA thinks about such and tests for it .

The TU3MH test bench used to measure the resistance of the lubricant to oxidation within the framework of ACEA 98 has been replaced by a test on the TU5JP test bench which is infinitely more demanding and more representative of current engine constraints over extended periods between oil changes.

Just a partial from some info I have loaded in a file

The TU5JP test is neat .

On a side point, there is no such thing as a 1996 4.6, the 1997 models with the (then) new body style were introduced in early 1996. So even though it may have been manufactured in 1996, it's a 1997 model.

Correctamondo Brons2, it is a 98, typo on my part. Any one know what ceramic brake pads are made of? Just a thought on the silicon, the air intake is off the fender well, these trucks are known for sucking up lots of brake dust. The Puralator air filter was very clean, sealed and only 10K old. All other connections were tight.
