Motorcraft 5w20 Formula Change? VOA

[modularv8]

I had a MC 5w20 voa peformed on a sample from a quart bottle bought at Walmart this past Friday. I did this because of a strange used oil analysis report on dealer bulk oil I posted a few days ago. Anyway here it is,

Al 0
Cr 0
Cu 0
Fe 0
Pb 0
B 743
Mg 8
Mo 32
K 2
Si 2
Na 1
Sn 1
Ca 1665
Zn 666
P 593

W N
A N
F N
OXI 8
NIT 4
SUL 15
ST V100 8.8

Looks like a lot of boron, which is what the used oil analysis report also showed. What do you guys think?

We've never seen boron numbers NEAR that high with Motorcraft before. It's usually 1/10 of that.

I agree. My used oil analysis from the Ford dealer bulk oil showed 596 for Boron. I also noticed the V100 is a little higher than the usual 8.4. Motorcraft changed their MSDS I think back in November, maybe a formula change.

The calcium, zinc and phosphorous numbers are nowhere near what your bulk oil was.

Something is off with that lab methinks.
