Oh yeah.....K+N oil filter, and changed back from a K+N air filter to stock paper air filter for this analysis.
any thoughts?

I would say this is an excellent analysis and could have gone much longer with this combo.

Try 6000 miles next time.

I'm currently trying M1R in this motor for the HOT weather.....I'll do a UOA in the fall.

Anyone know where the grounding strap for these engines are located?, thanks

That should be an interesting UOA.

Just ran my F150 analysis and posted it on here with a mixture of M1. This time I've got 5 quarts of 10W-30 and one quart of 15-50 M1 in it. Will take a UOA after the summer. Don't drive it a whole bunch, manily to the lake and back. But these modular motors sure do wear real slow.

The mod motors in stock form are really easy on oil. I just took a peek at some 5k mile GC I have in my 4.6 and it looks great, still clean.

I'll leave it in there for another 1000 miles and take a 6k uoa.
