2016 Fiesta ST. Lab recorded sample as Platinum 5W-20 but it was Mobil 1 5W-30 with a Purolator PureOne. 40 mile roundtrip commute to work. Driven spiritedly. The car has an off-the-shelf tune on it with a Mountune (K&N type) drop in air filter . Current oil is Castrol Edge 0W-40 and I'll try to run it out to 10k with a UOA around 5k and 10k. Engine seems to be pretty easy on oil. Aluminum went down a little. Maybe it can be attributed to the thicker oil?

On a side note, I sent this sample in the supplied black container and it seemed to have drawn the attention of USPS and was quarantined and took almost 3 weeks to arrive at the lab.

The last few times I put the sample in a padded envelope. Just barely fits. But sales right through to the lab.

Any Drivability concerns over the 20 grade?


It currently has a 0W-40 in it and if there is any effect on drivability, it's negligible.
