Hello everyone!
Here is the first UOA from my 2013 F-150 with the 5.0L engine. Miles on oil is 13,700km (Approx 8,500 miles) with a Wix57502 filter. Total miles on vehicle at the time of sample was 50,600km (Approx. 31,440 miles) Oil was in the engine from August 30, 2014 to September 2, 2015, so just over a year. This oil run included a full winter of use, various amounts of hauling stuff around, and maybe 15% was also towing a small enclosed trailer.
I ran the oil life monitor right down to 0%, but was nervous what the results might be. As the numbers show, I had nothing to worry about, and the iOLM does indeed give me a nice safety cushion.
Also some side notes:
-The air filter was changed for the first time on July 6, 2015 when the truck was at 48,500km with a Fram CA10262.
-Oil was the new Pennzoil Platinum with Pure Plus technology
-Oil filter was actually a Napa Gold, but I listed the Wix part number
-Make up oil added was 0.5L
Let me know what you all think!

Blackstone comments: Silicon was kind of high in this sample, and that can show abrasive dirt or sealers in the oil. In this case, we're guessing it's from sealers because metals look so good, but do check the air filter/intake for leaks or issues just in case. Averages for this engine type are based on about 9,000 km on the oil, and you've got great wear numbers by comparison, showing no obvious problems in the works here. No coolant, water, or fuel dilution was found and the TBN was fine at 2.7. A longer run should be no problem. Try 15,000 km for next time. Looks good overall!
