Here's a quote from you in a thread the other day...

Could you please show us where this is "listed in preventative maintenance, even for severe duty?" I'm having trouble finding it in the owners manual.

Morning. Yes beer. But after 11am. Haha. I'm confused what your asking? I don't bake my particulate filters as part of any preventative maintenance. The owners manuals do discuss the need of having the filters baked when indicated. I've never seen a cleaning of thr filters as PM.
BOF-if you have any Carquest stores left, see if they have any CQ Blue filters left (the Fram or Affinia ones)-if you use online codes & Speed Perks, it is possible to buy them for around $4 each. 99% @ 20 micron media, silicone ADBV, similar in construction to the Mobil 1 EPs. They are doing so well on the 4.6 2V in my sig that I sent my XG2s back! Run those & PYB 5W20 for 3K OCIs-you'll clean it up gradually, hopefully without the 3V cam phaser issues they're known for.

Thank you BW, I will pass this info onto my son.

The Ford tech stated that there was quite a bit of varnish.

I wouldn't do an engine flush over varnish. A good full synthetic will help clean that up safely over time.

I would agree with Bullwinkle, use some PYB for 3-4K oci's

It's my sons truck and he has 8 qts. (engine capacity is 7 qts.) of M1 0W40 that a customer gave to him awhile back. I found a NAPA ProSelect 21372 oil filter in an old box in my shed. He is going to do a 3-5K mile OCI and then go to MC 5W20 and a FU, MC, or WIX GOLD oil filter.

Thank you car51, that's very nice of you to offer your kind generosity. But, my son works for Ford on the Express Lube rack. He gets discounts on oil and filters.
Again, thank you sir!
