Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0w30 ‘23 Ford Bronco 2.7L Ecoboost V6 TT 6500 miles (SpeeDiagnostix)

[2.7ecoboostFordBronco]

Total vehicle mileage 13,467 miles, 6562 miles in 4 weeks on this oil, 3rd oil change since new. Filter was Fram Synthetic Endurance cartridge-type.

VOA of same oil for comparison:

It was at 9.2 centistokes at 100C. That’s ~ 1% below grade, but there wasn’t much fuel dilution so I guess it “sheared” a bit considering the 10.6 starting point. That said, my concerns there seem unfounded given wear metals looks good. This oil sample was mostly highway driving over a long 5000 mile road trip through Canada. Seems like I could get away sticking with this oil since I like the 0w rating for cold starts when it gets to the -20F range where I live. Plus it is cheaper than the motorcraft 5w30 synthetic blend Ford factory fill oil.

Thanks for sharing.

Like they mentioned silicon should come down more over a few more changes. Looks good for the mileage. @himemsys This VOA has oxidation value. This lab is showing noticeably lower calcium & magnesium. This AFE seems to be a popular option here on BITOG.

Looks real good, I would stick with that combo/interval.

I entered it into the database. Thanks! Magnesium seems too low. Like almost half that of the other two VOAs of this oil in the database.

Here is the blackstone analysis taken from the same oil drain if anyone cares. I overlayed the SpeedDiagnostix values in green. Viscosity was significantly lower in the blackstone report even though I used the same sample container for both. Others have commented that the Speediagnostix magnesium values seem too low, while the Blackstone Calcium and Zinc Values seem too low. Anyway, just a few datapoints in case anyone is interested in the differences between the labs.

Here is the VOA of this M1 AFE 0w-30 compared to the blackstone VOA.

The calcium/magnesium and phosphorus/zinc dichotomies are weird. SD's values seem too low on the Ca/Mg, but just right on the P/Zn, while BS's values seem just right on the Ca/Mg, but too low on the P/Zn. LOL. Of course, "seem" is subjective. It would be nice to have a 3rd lab for the tie-breaker.

Maybe I'll send my next sample to oil analyzers too, just for fun!

Also I thought it was kind of weird that SpeeDiagnostix reported exactly 384 PPM magnesium on both the VOA and the 6500 mi UOA.
