Castrol Syntec 5W-20, 5100 miles (2004 Ford Focus)

It came from my 2004 Ford Focus 2.3-L Duratec with 32 000 miles.

Wow, two syntec 5w20 reports within a week! That is crazy.

Looks good. The ford/mazda/syntec combo seems to be great.

Approved in all regards!

Excellent is all you can say!

Very nice!

I'm using a cold-air induction system with a K&N air filter, so I was happy to see that it's working as it should.

I am going to use this in my 2007 Hyundai Entourage with the 3.8L V6. I hope that I get similar results!

I thought it had to be GC 0W30 to be any good.

That's impressive.

What oil filter did you run?

 

[Dominic]

I wouldnt call silicon of 12 very good, but it's acceptable. The wear looks fine, and I don't think the filter is hurting anything.

Si is an additive in this case...
