Havn’t forgot, at 3000 miles from last oil change I’ll send off for testing and share. I want to do a 3K, 4K, and 5K test for my piece of mind. I am using all Ford OEM filters, but at 1000 miles I switched to full Motocraft synthetic. Probably next week or two I’ll be at 3000, and I’ll share the results.
If your engine is healthy and you aren’t doing literal SEVERE duty driving conditions, you’d be surprised by how long the oil can go. Now if your engine isn’t 100% healthy, yes, you can’t go longer then 3k miles because the engine is tearing up the engine and there’s a ton of metal in the oil that needs to be drained out because the filter can’t filter everything.
@@I_know_what_im_talking_about I will almost completely disagree, with these eco boost GDI engines. High pressure fuel dilutes the oil past the rings, far sooner than non-GDI. “Healthy” included. If you want to keep your turbocharged GDI engine going past 200,000 miles, you’d better not go past 5000 mile OIC. Or you might be “surprised” how few miles you get before your engine craps out. Oil changes are cheep. New Ecoboost engines are expensive. Up to you…it’s your engine…
Might depend on where a person lives because up here in the north panhandle of Idaho my '14 GT500 with Ford synthetic oil had a high water content switched to Schaeffer full synthetic oil no more water. (5w50)
I mean we have a Discord Channel and you can ask here there's nothing wrong with asking right here and I have an email as well but on the weekends I try to keep it down the small stuff so I don't get my time with my family taken from me
It may be the best oil but it doesn't mean that it's the wisest choice to use it just for the simple fact if you're going to be changing your oil every three to five thousand miles
Had a 2 vehicles a week ago that had factory oil and filter(the white FoMoCo one). One had 17k miles and the other 18k miles, and both were boosted engines. Shook my head and told the other tech sarcastically "They're off to a great start".
When i worked at Dodge years ago I remember a person brought in thier behicle they bought new for the first oil change at around 20,000 miles. Blew my mind how people did not take care of thier vehicles.
2016 Ford Escape 2.0L Ecoboost: Oil change every 3000 miles with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and Motorcraft filter(actually 2,800 this month because I wanted to get it done before the snow storm here in ohio), Trans drain and fill at 30K, PTU gear oil changed every 25K, tires rotated every other oil change, coolant swap from yellow to orange at 50k. 64k on her now and running like new.
I change my motor oil every 6 months regardless of mileage. I work from home and most road trips within 1-3 miles from my house, kids school and grocery store. In all I change oil less than 3k miles. I use mainly Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, Mobile 1 Full Synthetic or Idemitsu Full Synthetic oil. I use OEM oil filters or synthetic Mobile 1 oil filter. I had a 2004 Honda civic with 134k miles, 2014 Honda Accord with 64k, 2019 Acura RDX 32k and ‘23 Lexus GX 460 with a little over 1k miles. All my cars drive like new. I change all the fluids in my car (trans, motor, gear, brakes, steering, etc.)
At the factory we had "Plant Oil" and "Wall Oil". Our illiterate boss (not a joke) called us into a meeting to describe that we were "so green" that our polluting engines (fined by the EPA for non-compliance) were "so clean", because we burned the pollutants from the air ...and left the exhaust so fresh and pure. Not only that, we used "Plant Oil" that is made from fruits and vegetables inside our engines. Um, Valvoline in bulk tankers is not oil that comes from fruits and vegetables. That "Plant Oil" is normal engine oil with a UV dye added for leak checks at the end of the assembly line and the end of dyno test, before a full washing, drying, and painting. "Plant" meant manufacturing plant, not plant with green leaves that grows fruits and vegetables. The other type of oil was "Wall Oil". Wall oil came from the back wall in the laboratory. Wall oil was the same Valvoline oil, minus the UV dye. That oil was used for engine assembly to not confuse residual oil from assembly with an engine oil leak that was checked for at the end. Only mismanagement could be that not smart. ...And mismanagement wondered why the engine business closed. Incompetence, corruption, and not being able to pass emission standards has a way of ending a Fortune 500 company's engine business for good. We went from the biggest engine manufacturer in our class to closed for good in 15 years, one day of producing poor engines after another, a day at a time. 340k engines a year ...to nothing, closed. Gone.
@Reuben Morris ever heard of the dilbert method of promotion?? Lol. Basically its promoting someone elsewhere because that person/worker is messing up the good cohesion and is bringing down the moral of the other workers in that environment. Promoting incompetence out to keep competent people content. Once I read that, I see how most people made it into management.
I was just told today by my gm dealer that they won’t change my engine oil until my oil life reaches 10%. That works out to about 18000km (11000miles) I couldn’t believe it. I bought the best maintenance package gm has . My truck is a 2500 duramax. I am a firm believer in oil changes. Any turbo engine beats the hell out of any oil. Clean oil = clean engine = longer engine life and less repairs to the engine.
@@FordBossMe i talked to the service writer . But will work my way up to the service manager. They are also only now replacing the block heater cord they cut off for a recall back in June last year. I had to install an oil pan heater to get through the cold snaps. It get cold here in northern Alberta. Seen a few weeks of -40 to -50.
Oh dang! That’s quite absurd. Don’t know if you’re 2500 has the option to set a certain percentage of oil life. On my mustang I am able reset the oil life to anywhere between 10%-100% at any given time. I was thinking if I were you.. reset your oil life to 10% just to have them change the oil for you and shut up haha. These service departments at dealers are something else..
This is good to know rich.. my company ( family owned) recently bought 2 new trucks, I'm responsible for maintaining them, however when you buy a new truck ford gives you ford pass points, good for 3 oil changes, per vehicle. I've brought one in already to have the factory oil dropped @ 3k. I always do the OCI for them & i use penzoil platinum, but I'm not passing on free oil changes. Great to know the oil from dealer is performing! 👍
@Joseph f I use my Ford Pass points for accessories and miscellaneous things from the parts department, and do the oil changes myself with Penzoil Ultra Platinum. You're not required to use the points for just oil changes.
I wonder what the difference is between US vehicle usage versus European. Here in the UK, the normal oil change interval for most vehicles is 12,000 miles. Some VW vehicles that are used for high annual mileages can use a special oil that permits changes to be extended to 20,000 miles. I have no reason to believe that engines die more quickly here; I know of a VW T4 Transporter van that had no engine or transmission work other than maintenance, and was still running fine and not burning oil after 300,000 miles. Perhaps the fuel dilution might be due to multiple short trips? It's not so common here to use your car for multiple short journeys, so perhaps the oil gets hot enough to boil out the fuel dilution.
Awsome review. This is the oil and oil change that 90% of people are doing. Nice to see that Motorcraft oil and filter is still quality after all these years. Would be nice to see some other dealer packages tested.
@@ohiostate9156 Yes! As well as the filter. I have Chevs and love them but I have no faith in AC Delco. The oil is probably good but other consumables (batteries, all filters) are not from my experience.
@@nicolem.792 I use the oil and filters and no issues so far. They did change their pf63e filters a little still an ecore but steel end caps now instead of fiberboard which is an improvement I guess. Batteries im not sure about
@@ohiostate9156 I’m replacing a 3.5 year old battery today (lead acid) and last year I did a 2.5 year old battery (AGM). Their air and oil filter media picks up next to nothing. Glad to hear they are back to metal end caps but they have a long way to go in my view.
One of many things about you that I appreciate is your always honest, you don't cover up anything. I actually drive a honda cr v, but I keep coming back to your videos because you know your stuff and your honesty. Watcher and true believer from Canada. Excellent video Sir.
I opened an old oil jug. Wow! The additive was coming out in specks and clumps. They were like scale and streaks. My question is... does dealership 4x4x4 tanks settle out? Barrels of old style 10w30 from decades ago???
Right on Rich !! I have a 05 CV P71 with 230K miles and doing 3-4K OCI full syn oil changes with MC filter to keep the phasers and timing chain happy !! I'm also experimenting with 20% MMO or Lucas oil stabilizer
ask yourself this why would any oil refiner make a garbage oil and get the pants sued out of them when problems arise. Remember the 6.0 powerstroke was good for 6k max oil changes regardless of if it was synthetic or not. Oil changes are cheap engines are not
just sent for my first test kit trying to diagnose a coolant loss on my vehicle can't detect any visible external signs but I can smell once the engine is warm and driven for a short period of time already replaced the radiator cap and topped of the reservoir which is part of the radiator on my vehicle but still losing enough of the reservoir in a months time to be nervous I hope it's not in my oil 😬
My 2019 Ranger that at least is coming up in September, I am leaning towards keeping it because of how crazy the market is right now. If I do make the decision to keep it, I am going to install an oil catch can and go exclusively to Pennzoil platinum fully synthetic oil with Motorcraft filters. After seeing the oil comparison on Project Farm’s channel I switched my cars from Mobil 1to Pennzoil platinum.
I went to a Pennzoil Quick oil change place in my area, I had them.put synthetic,after only 4000km it was black so no I don't trust bulk oil whatsoever
According to the engineer that designed Nissan's best Z motors, "use the cheapest oil you can find, but change it every 2000 -3000 miles." Lake Speed Jr. also found a huge amount of (microscopic) debris in his daughter's new engine at 700+ miles. So I don't think you can trust the OEM recommendations for anything anymore since the EPA is essentially dictating the viscosity and frequency of oil change specifications. I'm wondering if so many issues relating to new engines have been exasperated by recommended maintenance schedules. It's also recommended to use a high quality fuel additive whenever you do an oil change, to keep your injectors clean.
As a tech in this industry I recently last year bought my mom a new ish 2019 fusion awd ecoboost. I like it. She loves it. Bought it used from my dealership where I work. Has some milage on it being used. I'm hoping that at mid 30k when I got it. Not many issues. But I've liked Motorcraft oil in my f150 (95) and it was great. But after seeing this and when changed the oil last yeah. It was really heavily diluted with fuel 😫 😷 so basically what should I do and look for. I do want to run some fuel cleaner in it. Maybe a motor flush but I'm ehhh with the turbo. But I do use synthetic pennzoil for it and do the service about every 4k. But would you recommend using the Ford 5w30 blend for this engine and go every 4k?
I have been using the Motorcraft synthetic blend motor oil on my 2016 Ford Escape 2.0L EcoBoost, since new. I understand that Castrol Edge fully synthetic is Ford approved. Castrol website has even an oil selector, and you get their oil type recommendation for your specific vehicle. In your professional opinion, would switching to Castrol Edge fully synthetic be beneficial. Thank you so much, I cherish your advice.
I changed my oil again yesterday at about 3,300 miles on my 2017 1.5 fusion. It looked very dirty. Could barely see any light through it even as I poured it out of the drain pan into a bucket. It's Castrol Edge 5w-20. I'm guessing it got a little dirtier this time because of warm-up times as it is negative 10 degrees in the morning and I pushed it a few times, hitting 120 MPH on some wide open high desert roads.
@@Mrwaffleandmilk Maybe on a naturally aspirated engine, but from what I'm learning of turbo-charged engines it they are harder on the oil. The turbo needs to be lubricated and it runs very hot, and the oil in the crankcase gets more exhaust and unburned fuel in it via piston blowby, causing it to become acidic faster.
Lol, factory recommended interval for my RS is 10k miles. Glad I've been doing it every 3-5k. I drive it hard on and off track. I bought a race car for a reason.
At the Valvoline Plant we filled bottles,pails,kegs, drums, totes, and our own tanker trucks depending on the customer's needs. All the same Valvoline lubricants.
Oil is to thin ,you will have lower oil pressure in your engine because of that,not ideal at all ,TBN is low to, molybdenum is low and the flash point,LOOKS LIKE A 3-4K oil to me for boosted engines.
I think you are confusing the word BULK OIL with BUNKER OIL. Bunker oil is a real thick hardly refined at all oil. The oil co basically filters out all the solids & sells it. Locomotives & ships burn Bunker C oil as fuel as it is REAL cheap. BULK simply means a large quantity. The bulk oil dealerships use is the same oil they sell in a quart or 5 quart bottles but it is delivered to the dealerships in 55 gallon drums because they use so much of it that it would be an environmental disaster if they were popping open plastic bottles for every quart or 5 they use. Yes, it is good to use. BUT, who needs a 55 gallon drum of motor oil in their garage? Just imagine the $$. !
Back in the day it was every 3000 mile now it's 7500 what got better i say nothing it's a dealer trick to get you to buy the car 🚨🚗 so change your oil 🛢️🪔 and hopefully you will be good
I’m afraid to go past 4,000 I use full synthetic and I do fuel system cleaning on my gdi system on the 2.3L eco boost ranger. I can smell a slight fuel in mine but it’s not potent
I used to work at a big name Japanese dealership and we bought bulk oil....have no idea where it came from but that sh!+ was nearly as dark as the oil thry drained from the car that had xxxxx miles on it. Wouldn't run that sh!+ in my lawn mower smh
That's pretty comforting that the oil is doing a good job, the Ford synthetic blend at that. Only thing is still don't think it supports GF-6A specs which is the latest. Its supposed to have more of a base substance to balance out the acidity in the turbo engines which get gasoline blow by in to their oil.
I have a 2021 Explorer ST and just received a report from Blackstone as well. It was great to be able to compare the two reports. I was using Mobile 1 and WIx but the comparison was great. Your comments on the different elements and properties was very helpful. Thanks.
Dousnt ford call for 10k on the interval change? The oil life tracker is set for 10k miles. No wonder why the engines fail early if this is the case.. customers thinking they are servicing it at appropriate interval but really they are 5000 miles top long lol
A lot of people take that interval and they don't read the fine print 99.9% of us are not in that type of service interval and we are severe Duty which means more often by cutting that in half
Have you ever talked about putting a catch can on the ecoboost? Specifically for me a 2019 ranger with the 2.3L. Seems like that would help the gas intrusion.
I run motorcraft oil in my 1.5 ecoboost and after 2000 miles it's still golden like it was just put in. I never let my car idle, and I drive 55mph+ probably 80% of the time.
I have a 6 year old direct injected turbocharged 2.0L motor which has some custom parts and a custom tune on it pushing it to 350hp at the wheels. I change the oil every 3k miles with Pennzoil Platinum and get a blackstone UOA every other oil change. If you want your direct injected turbocharged motor to last a long time, change the motor oil frequently and clean your intake valves often as well, I do mine every 30k miles and even with an expensive aftermarket air/oil separator on it there is significant carbon buildup. I did the math and had I changed it every 5k miles like the manufacturer recommends I would have saved about $700 overall doing it myself but to me it's worth it because my car runs perfect and every UOA I get back has excellent readings.
It would be great to see the report on new oil vs the 6K mile oil. The data is good, but there is nothing to compare it to. Just my .02. Good content though.
What's the customer driving habits? Lots of in town short trips and cold starts? Definitely adds to fuel dilution. Most people don't realize that in town driving really should be considered 'severe' duty. Personally I wouldn't use anything lest than a full synthetic for a boosted engine, Or any modern engine at this point. Synthetic is worth the extra few bucks.
so the oil is synthetic blend?(unclear in video) would full synthetic be any better or last longer? also if fuel is in the oil would that indicate that the drive cycles aren't long enough to burn the fuel vapors in the oil out?
When you have excessive Fuel and oil it could be from two things it's a boosted application it's going to happen or is being idled too much Or you're at the beginning side of a compression problem which typically that's not it
Love these Motor Oil Analysis Videos !! When I was younger I spent a lot of time in a friend's automotive machine shop. Always believed in proper oil change interval extends engine life . Once manufacture's started using boosted engine's I never believed their oil change intervals. When Cylinder pressures increase on these engine 's -- rings have a much harder job sealing ( not to mention detonation increases) some gasses from combustion will seep past rings contaminating oil. Never thought manufacture's oil change interval took this into consideration. If you think this is bad on a gasoline burning , you should see what an Alcohol burning engine does to motor oil. Keep up the good work !!!
I worked as a tech at a Dodge dealer back in the early 2000s. Sometimes we would run out of bulk oil and they would go buy cases of Orieleys oil. It pained me putting that stuff in peoples vehicles. So, I now drive Ford vehicles. My wife has a 2018 Expedition Max 3.5 and I just got a 2023 F150 2.7L. This is great info for sure as our Expedition gets services at the dealer. However, it seems we need to change to 5000K and not factory recommended.
Maybe a supplemental video about how many different oil brands that people swear by come from the same refinery. I know Warren is a big player. I am under the impression several brands are just Warren in different bottles.
Early oil changes matter. Oil is cheaper than a new engine. In the 3 yrs that I've had my 99 ford explorer 4.0l sohc I've changed the oil with castrol and motor craft fl1a every 3000 miles or 4 months. I do alot more highway driving at 75 mph.
Good explanation of how a UOA is worth the $25 or so that it costs, especially while your motor is new and still breaking in, and under warranty. Know what you are running and know what it looks like at a certain OCI, and adjust accordingly if you want to try and push out your interval. If fuel dilution is such a rampant thing with these twin-turbo EcoBoosts, I don't know why Ford doesn't suggest running a 40w oil such as an ACEA C3 spec; maybe an A3/B4 depending upon the specific specs. I don't want the the 30w to shear into a 20w. Ford says as much for the former V6 diesel they used to offer in the F-150: owners manual says if you run biodiesel (doesn't ask how much) then run a 5w-40. FCA did this on their V6 turbodiesel, as well.
So do your own testing then I'm not here to try to change anything for anybody what I'm doing right now is more than anybody else is doing and it's going to stay that way until somebody else starts doing more don't say nothing
We have roughly 15k - 20k mile oil change intervall on most cars in Sweden (diesel). Bearings have no sign of wear at all after 200.000miles. It´s not oil from the 1960 anymore!
I work at BP oil labs as a lead mechanical engineer. There is federal minimum standard for motor oil that has to be met before it can made for customers. We have to send our test results to a federal facility and some samples for them to test. All motor oil is made to the same standards, some have more addictives for better protection. So the cheapo walmart synthetic oil is good up to 5000 miles. For my experience, Toyota motor oil is the best. It is 85% effective up to 8330 miles before wear protection is not there. Although, like you said 5000 miles is a safe bet. I personally like 3000 miles for any motor that is super or turbo charged. And 5000 miles for any non turbo or super charged motors
the fuel dillution is an issue. id step up a grade. hard to say what the spec is because its saying normal visc is from sae 20 to ALMOST sae 40. id try mobil 1 0w30 afe or maybe even mobil 1 0w40 (non euro) and stay at 5k oci or less.
@@FordBossMe mobil makes a good synthetic but i recommended it because those grades are available at Walmart for $27 a jug. if the same grades in Pennzoil or valvoline were at walmart id recommend one of them.
What do you think on my 3.5 2020f150 it has 22 k approx 8 k a year I started running full synthetic changing oil aprox every 4-5 months. Is it a waste of money
I’ve changed the oil like every 2500-3000 on my 2020 3.5 ecoboost. Probably overkill but it’s still pretty dirty when I change it and the computer monitor is normally down to like 20 percent oil life
@@medjoolmaker Im not sure about extra time. That “extra time” is wasted charging them and all that “extra money” would probably go into repairing non repairable electronics but who knows.
@@elvism684 yeah, those batteries even reconditioned are EXPENSIVE. Not to mention you have to sit for the length of an oil change just for the thing to charge to half. Electric has a long way to go before it’s going to be mass adopted by everyone because of the issues or inconveniences.
I like your vids amigo. Have you seen the vid circulating with the Nissan engineer saying everyone should do 3k mile intervals? I know your vids are more specific to ford but I just decided to listen to him. I dontbuy all of the new oil tech stuff, it just doesn’t make sense to me all the sudden cars can go 2-3X per oil change. I think you agree based on another video of yours.
I switched from the blend to Full Synthetic in my 2017 Turbo Four Cylinder. Could you do a test on the Full Synthetic 5-30 Motorcraft oil. To see if it's any better than the Blend version. Then I could tell if I am wasting my money on Synthetic instead of the blend. I felt do to the heat from the turbo. That the Synthetic oil would handle the heat better. Thank Ford Boss me! You have helped me understand the Eco-Boost engine better every video. Shawn.
Why does the 2020 and 2021 or 2022 oil change says on car screen 10k to change it ? I think this is crazy I do 4 to 5k, I just check the color every month, also you can smell it , this is my case I’m not sure what other people does
No oil that is regulated is garbage. However synthetic blend is the lowest quality oil before plain old mineral oil. For people that don’t care it doesn’t matter. It’s sold to be affordable. You could buy full-synthetic if you want and take care of your engine more than the average person but some people arnt willing to pay more.
Here’s my question take my Ford to Ford service oil change how do I know what oils are use? At ford dealer inquire about a transmission flush. How do I know what oil they will use ask writer and he say they don’t use Motorcraft fluid they claim they have a better one in Motorcraft. Here I go to Ford dealer to get the oil that was designed for the car not the shop on the corner but who knows what a oil
The Car Care Nut is like you when it comes to service intervals. He specializes in Toyotas and he recently made an interesting video on service recommendations for early model Toyota Camry and Modern Camry sedans. People were saying the older Camry's lasted longer well when you go back the service recommendations were very strict and the modern Camry's had gotten less strict. So it goes to show strict maintenance is the key if you want an engine to last many years and get a lot of milage. Good stuff! I personally am not a fan of modern Ford engines, but you are spot on when it comes to service. I do not hate Ford, but I have ran into quality control issues and even other Ford techs have questioned Ford's quality control and design choices as of late. All brands have their good and bad designs with none being perfect. I personally wish Ford would re-think some of their strategies and build more vehicles that are practical for average buyers like they did with the new Maverick.
To everyone out there. We owe a big thank you. To Ford Boss me for giving us all his great insite on Fords. There is no one on TH-cam showing us how to take great care of our vehicles. Than Ford Boss me. I have been watching and texting with him from the start. He doesn't have to show or tell us anything about Ford's. But he does! Thanks again Ford Boss me. Shawn.
You are testing the oil incorrectly . You have to send in clean unused oil to lab and see how different brands compare to their advertised claims . FORD oil in NY is not the same in Calif. The dealerships get it from a bulk oils supplier in there area . Anyway oil testing is great if you can understand what you are reading . It will show bearing material , fuel , antifreeze , a long with other contaminates in the used oil . It is up to you to know what is normal for that engine . Is that antifreeze found telling me the head gasket is going bad ? Maybe it is the intercooler ? I think you can see my point .
Larry go do your own testing I'm going to test it exactly how I want to test it go do your own testing don't tell me how to do my testing here again I hope I've made myself clear I put a lot of time and money and effort into this I'm not going to change how I do things just because you're not happy with it I literally have people from mobile Kendall Conoco BP that are on this page that are Engineers that work at testing facilities and if they had a problem with what I was doing they would tell me but here we are little old Larry decided he wants to tell me I'm doing something wrong while the professionals continue to watch they don't have an issue with what I'm doing
@@FordBossMe don't be an ass if you want to test oil brands to compare as you did with filters . Be fair and test them before they used in an engine . If you want to talk about using oil analysis to make a service plan or for diagnostics on an engine that is fine . You said you were testing the oil supplied by your shop . That implies you may be test other brands of oil too.

If your engine is healthy and you aren’t doing literal SEVERE duty driving conditions, you’d be surprised by how long the oil can go.
Now if your engine isn’t 100% healthy, yes, you can’t go longer then 3k miles because the engine is tearing up the engine and there’s a ton of metal in the oil that needs to be drained out because the filter can’t filter everything.

Had a 2 vehicles a week ago that had factory oil and filter(the white FoMoCo one). One had 17k miles and the other 18k miles, and both were boosted engines. Shook my head and told the other tech sarcastically "They're off to a great start".
When i worked at Dodge years ago I remember a person brought in thier behicle they bought new for the first oil change at around 20,000 miles. Blew my mind how people did not take care of thier vehicles.
Your advice regarding appropriate oil change intervals for that application and reasoning is excellent. 5k intervals should serve such an owner well.
2016 Ford Escape 2.0L Ecoboost: Oil change every 3000 miles with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and Motorcraft filter(actually 2,800 this month because I wanted to get it done before the snow storm here in ohio), Trans drain and fill at 30K, PTU gear oil changed every 25K, tires rotated every other oil change, coolant swap from yellow to orange at 50k. 64k on her now and running like new.
I change my motor oil every 6 months regardless of mileage. I work from home and most road trips within 1-3 miles from my house, kids school and grocery store. In all I change oil less than 3k miles. I use mainly Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, Mobile 1 Full Synthetic or Idemitsu Full Synthetic oil. I use OEM oil filters or synthetic Mobile 1 oil filter. I had a 2004 Honda civic with 134k miles, 2014 Honda Accord with 64k, 2019 Acura RDX 32k and ‘23 Lexus GX 460 with a little over 1k miles. All my cars drive like new. I change all the fluids in my car (trans, motor, gear, brakes, steering, etc.)
At the factory we had "Plant Oil" and "Wall Oil". Our illiterate boss (not a joke) called us into a meeting to describe that we were "so green" that our polluting engines (fined by the EPA for non-compliance) were "so clean", because we burned the pollutants from the air ...and left the exhaust so fresh and pure. Not only that, we used "Plant Oil" that is made from fruits and vegetables inside our engines.
Um, Valvoline in bulk tankers is not oil that comes from fruits and vegetables. That "Plant Oil" is normal engine oil with a UV dye added for leak checks at the end of the assembly line and the end of dyno test, before a full washing, drying, and painting. "Plant" meant manufacturing plant, not plant with green leaves that grows fruits and vegetables.
The other type of oil was "Wall Oil". Wall oil came from the back wall in the laboratory. Wall oil was the same Valvoline oil, minus the UV dye. That oil was used for engine assembly to not confuse residual oil from assembly with an engine oil leak that was checked for at the end.
Only mismanagement could be that not smart. ...And mismanagement wondered why the engine business closed. Incompetence, corruption, and not being able to pass emission standards has a way of ending a Fortune 500 company's engine business for good. We went from the biggest engine manufacturer in our class to closed for good in 15 years, one day of producing poor engines after another, a day at a time. 340k engines a year ...to nothing, closed. Gone.
That first part is hilarious
Started out funny but ended sad, sorry to hear this, what company was it?
I'm sad that I sold my Duratec Focus ZX3 and '00 Town Car now. I know the duratec is Mazda MZR but still
Good thing that person was your boss and not a technician working on machines.
@Reuben Morris ever heard of the dilbert method of promotion?? Lol. Basically its promoting someone elsewhere because that person/worker is messing up the good cohesion and is bringing down the moral of the other workers in that environment. Promoting incompetence out to keep competent people content. Once I read that, I see how most people made it into management.
I was just told today by my gm dealer that they won’t change my engine oil until my oil life reaches 10%. That works out to about 18000km (11000miles) I couldn’t believe it. I bought the best maintenance package gm has . My truck is a 2500 duramax. I am a firm believer in oil changes. Any turbo engine beats the hell out of any oil. Clean oil = clean engine = longer engine life and less repairs to the engine.
What!!? What does the contract say? Check your warranty paperwork.
You can actually talk to them and tell them that you do not agree to that and you would like the oil to be changed sooner
@@FordBossMe i talked to the service writer . But will work my way up to the service manager. They are also only now replacing the block heater cord they cut off for a recall back in June last year. I had to install an oil pan heater to get through the cold snaps. It get cold here in northern Alberta. Seen a few weeks of -40 to -50.
@@toddbob55 3 ram pickups. Had my fill of that plus a crappy dealership. Ford had nothing on the lot.
Oh dang! That’s quite absurd. Don’t know if you’re 2500 has the option to set a certain percentage of oil life. On my mustang I am able reset the oil life to anywhere between 10%-100% at any given time. I was thinking if I were you.. reset your oil life to 10% just to have them change the oil for you and shut up haha. These service departments at dealers are something else..
This is good to know rich.. my company ( family owned) recently bought 2 new trucks, I'm responsible for maintaining them, however when you buy a new truck ford gives you ford pass points, good for 3 oil changes, per vehicle. I've brought one in already to have the factory oil dropped @ 3k. I always do the OCI for them & i use penzoil platinum, but I'm not passing on free oil changes. Great to know the oil from dealer is performing! 👍
The Pennzoil Platinum is terrific, though free oil changes is tough to beat as well.
@Joseph f I use my Ford Pass points for accessories and miscellaneous things from the parts department, and do the oil changes myself with Penzoil Ultra Platinum. You're not required to use the points for just oil changes.
@@skrsys good to know, but these are work trucks.. if they were personal vehicles I would consider that option.
I wonder what the difference is between US vehicle usage versus European. Here in the UK, the normal oil change interval for most vehicles is 12,000 miles. Some VW vehicles that are used for high annual mileages can use a special oil that permits changes to be extended to 20,000 miles.
I have no reason to believe that engines die more quickly here; I know of a VW T4 Transporter van that had no engine or transmission work other than maintenance, and was still running fine and not burning oil after 300,000 miles.
Perhaps the fuel dilution might be due to multiple short trips? It's not so common here to use your car for multiple short journeys, so perhaps the oil gets hot enough to boil out the fuel dilution.
That’s because most of it is highway miles
Looks like the Conoco-Phillips oil fared well enough. I would have no problem using it as I change oil between 3,000 to 3,500k.
Awsome review. This is the oil and oil change that 90% of people are doing. Nice to see that Motorcraft oil and filter is still quality after all these years. Would be nice to see some other dealer packages tested.
I would like to see AC delco's oil tested
@@ohiostate9156 Yes! As well as the filter. I have Chevs and love them but I have no faith in AC Delco. The oil is probably good but other consumables (batteries, all filters) are not from my experience.
@@nicolem.792 I use the oil and filters and no issues so far. They did change their pf63e filters a little still an ecore but steel end caps now instead of fiberboard which is an improvement I guess. Batteries im not sure about
@@ohiostate9156 I’m replacing a 3.5 year old battery today (lead acid) and last year I did a 2.5 year old battery (AGM). Their air and oil filter media picks up next to nothing. Glad to hear they are back to metal end caps but they have a long way to go in my view.
One of many things about you that I appreciate is your always honest, you don't cover up anything. I actually drive a honda cr v, but I keep coming back to your videos because you know your stuff and your honesty. Watcher and true believer from Canada. Excellent video Sir.
I opened an old oil jug. Wow! The additive was coming out in specks and clumps. They were like scale and streaks. My question is... does dealership 4x4x4 tanks settle out? Barrels of old style 10w30 from decades ago???
Right on Rich !! I have a 05 CV P71 with 230K miles and doing 3-4K OCI full syn oil changes with MC filter to keep the phasers and timing chain happy !! I'm also experimenting with 20% MMO or Lucas oil stabilizer
Hmm...i didn't know oil was unstable
ask yourself this why would any oil refiner make a garbage oil and get the pants sued out of them when problems arise. Remember the 6.0 powerstroke was good for 6k max oil changes regardless of if it was synthetic or not. Oil changes are cheap engines are not
just sent for my first test kit trying to diagnose a coolant loss on my vehicle can't detect any visible external signs but I can smell once the engine is warm and driven for a short period of time already replaced the radiator cap and topped of the reservoir which is part of the radiator on my vehicle but still losing enough of the reservoir in a months time to be nervous I hope it's not in my oil 😬
My 2019 Ranger that at least is coming up in September, I am leaning towards keeping it because of how crazy the market is right now. If I do make the decision to keep it, I am going to install an oil catch can and go exclusively to Pennzoil platinum fully synthetic oil with Motorcraft filters. After seeing the oil comparison on Project Farm’s channel I switched my cars from Mobil 1to Pennzoil platinum.
Well this caught my attention, thanks for the info off to projet farm!
I went to a Pennzoil Quick oil change place in my area, I had them.put synthetic,after only 4000km it was black so no I don't trust bulk oil whatsoever
According to the engineer that designed Nissan's best Z motors, "use the cheapest oil you can find, but change it every 2000 -3000 miles." Lake Speed Jr. also found a huge amount of (microscopic) debris in his daughter's new engine at 700+ miles. So I don't think you can trust the OEM recommendations for anything anymore since the EPA is essentially dictating the viscosity and frequency of oil change specifications. I'm wondering if so many issues relating to new engines have been exasperated by recommended maintenance schedules. It's also recommended to use a high quality fuel additive whenever you do an oil change, to keep your injectors clean.
As a tech in this industry I recently last year bought my mom a new ish 2019 fusion awd ecoboost. I like it. She loves it. Bought it used from my dealership where I work. Has some milage on it being used. I'm hoping that at mid 30k when I got it. Not many issues. But I've liked Motorcraft oil in my f150 (95) and it was great. But after seeing this and when changed the oil last yeah. It was really heavily diluted with fuel 😫 😷 so basically what should I do and look for. I do want to run some fuel cleaner in it. Maybe a motor flush but I'm ehhh with the turbo. But I do use synthetic pennzoil for it and do the service about every 4k. But would you recommend using the Ford 5w30 blend for this engine and go every 4k?
The full synthetic penzoil is better
Are the Ford oil filters made by Purolator ? If I'm not mistaken, the Ford oil is made by Conoco Phillips 66.
I have been using the Motorcraft synthetic blend motor oil on my 2016 Ford Escape 2.0L EcoBoost, since new. I understand that Castrol Edge fully synthetic is Ford approved. Castrol website has even an oil selector, and you get their oil type recommendation for your specific vehicle. In your professional opinion, would switching to Castrol Edge fully synthetic be beneficial. Thank you so much, I cherish your advice.
Can't agreed more. 5k is the sweet spot for boosted engines using factory recommend oil. Thank you.
Cannot over-maintain that engine! Oil is cheap insurance.
I changed my oil again yesterday at about 3,300 miles on my 2017 1.5 fusion. It looked very dirty. Could barely see any light through it even as I poured it out of the drain pan into a bucket. It's Castrol Edge 5w-20. I'm guessing it got a little dirtier this time because of warm-up times as it is negative 10 degrees in the morning and I pushed it a few times, hitting 120 MPH on some wide open high desert roads.
@@Mrwaffleandmilk Maybe on a naturally aspirated engine, but from what I'm learning of turbo-charged engines it they are harder on the oil. The turbo needs to be lubricated and it runs very hot, and the oil in the crankcase gets more exhaust and unburned fuel in it via piston blowby, causing it to become acidic faster.
Lol, factory recommended interval for my RS is 10k miles. Glad I've been doing it every 3-5k. I drive it hard on and off track. I bought a race car for a reason.
At the Valvoline Plant we filled bottles,pails,kegs, drums, totes, and our own tanker trucks depending on the customer's needs. All the same Valvoline lubricants.
Oil is to thin ,you will have lower oil pressure in your engine because of that,not ideal at all ,TBN is low to, molybdenum is low and the flash point,LOOKS LIKE A 3-4K oil to me for boosted engines.
I’ve always trusted the dealer bulk oil. You can’t question the lab results good video thanks.
I think you are confusing the word BULK OIL with BUNKER OIL. Bunker oil is a real thick hardly refined at all oil. The oil co basically filters out all the solids & sells it. Locomotives & ships burn Bunker C oil as fuel as it is REAL cheap. BULK simply means a large quantity. The bulk oil dealerships use is the same oil they sell in a quart or 5 quart bottles but it is delivered to the dealerships in 55 gallon drums because they use so much of it that it would be an environmental disaster if they were popping open plastic bottles for every quart or 5 they use.
Yes, it is good to use. BUT, who needs a 55 gallon drum of motor oil in their garage? Just imagine the $$.
!
Back in the day it was every 3000 mile now it's 7500 what got better i say nothing it's a dealer trick to get you to buy the car 🚨🚗 so change your oil 🛢️🪔 and hopefully you will be good
oil change due thursday, I change mine every 3k miles because it's a lot of back-and-forth short trips.
The dealership use synthetic blended oil? How cheap, they should use full synthetic oil when they charge so much for car service.
I’m afraid to go past 4,000 I use full synthetic and I do fuel system cleaning on my gdi system on the 2.3L eco boost ranger. I can smell a slight fuel in mine but it’s not potent
I used to work at a big name Japanese dealership and we bought bulk oil....have no idea where it came from but that sh!+ was nearly as dark as the oil thry drained from the car that had xxxxx miles on it. Wouldn't run that sh!+ in my lawn mower smh
That's pretty comforting that the oil is doing a good job, the Ford synthetic blend at that. Only thing is still don't think it supports GF-6A specs which is the latest. Its supposed to have more of a base substance to balance out the acidity in the turbo engines which get gasoline blow by in to their oil.
On a 2015 f150 3.5 . 141000. I have milk looking stuff in the oil cap. Do I need a engine
How long would u reccomend changing shaffers 9000 at?
If you run a car a few kms a day you got to change oil often . If you do alot of kms oil will last long . Same with cargo . With or without it
I have a 2021 Explorer ST and just received a report from Blackstone as well. It was great to be able to compare the two reports. I was using Mobile 1 and WIx but the comparison was great. Your comments on the different elements and properties was very helpful. Thanks.
Dousnt ford call for 10k on the interval change? The oil life tracker is set for 10k miles. No wonder why the engines fail early if this is the case.. customers thinking they are servicing it at appropriate interval but really they are 5000 miles top long lol
No they don't
A lot of people take that interval and they don't read the fine print 99.9% of us are not in that type of service interval and we are severe Duty which means more often by cutting that in half
3000 miles no more!!
Have you ever talked about putting a catch can on the ecoboost? Specifically for me a 2019 ranger with the 2.3L. Seems like that would help the gas intrusion.
Do it
It’s not boosted engines, it’s ford being crap. We have been driving boosted gas and diesel cars in Europe forever with longer intervals and no issues
If I request motorcraft at the dealer will they give me motorcraft lmao
I run motorcraft oil in my 1.5 ecoboost and after 2000 miles it's still golden like it was just put in. I never let my car idle, and I drive 55mph+ probably 80% of the time.
Compared to engines, oil is dirt cheap.
I have a 6 year old direct injected turbocharged 2.0L motor which has some custom parts and a custom tune on it pushing it to 350hp at the wheels. I change the oil every 3k miles with Pennzoil Platinum and get a blackstone UOA every other oil change. If you want your direct injected turbocharged motor to last a long time, change the motor oil frequently and clean your intake valves often as well, I do mine every 30k miles and even with an expensive aftermarket air/oil separator on it there is significant carbon buildup. I did the math and had I changed it every 5k miles like the manufacturer recommends I would have saved about $700 overall doing it myself but to me it's worth it because my car runs perfect and every UOA I get back has excellent readings.
My Mustang gets Pennzoil ultra platinum Full Synthetic 5w30 and a Purolator Boss oil filter every 5k. Done.!!!
It would be great to see the report on new oil vs the 6K mile oil. The data is good, but there is nothing to compare it to. Just my .02. Good content though.
What's the customer driving habits? Lots of in town short trips and cold starts? Definitely adds to fuel dilution. Most people don't realize that in town driving really should be considered 'severe' duty. Personally I wouldn't use anything lest than a full synthetic for a boosted engine, Or any modern engine at this point. Synthetic is worth the extra few bucks.
i believe that your last recommedation as a well seasoned mechnic was every 3ooo miles and twice a year(?)
You are doing a great job, awesome insight and point of view on the oil analysis , don’t ever stop , and thank you for your service ✌️
so the oil is synthetic blend?(unclear in video) would full synthetic be any better or last longer? also if fuel is in the oil would that indicate that the drive cycles aren't long enough to burn the fuel vapors in the oil out?
I did call it synthetic blend in the video I did spell it out clearly
Full synthetic is a better oil typically comes with a better attitude package
When you have excessive Fuel and oil it could be from two things it's a boosted application it's going to happen or is being idled too much
Or you're at the beginning side of a compression problem which typically that's not it
Love these Motor Oil Analysis Videos !! When I was younger I spent a lot of time in a friend's automotive machine shop. Always believed in proper oil change interval extends engine life . Once manufacture's started using boosted engine's I never believed their oil change intervals. When Cylinder pressures increase on these engine 's -- rings have a much harder job sealing ( not to mention detonation increases) some gasses from combustion will seep past rings contaminating oil. Never thought manufacture's oil change interval took this into consideration. If you think this is bad on a gasoline burning , you should see what an Alcohol burning engine does to motor oil. Keep up the good work !!!
I worked as a tech at a Dodge dealer back in the early 2000s. Sometimes we would run out of bulk oil and they would go buy cases of Orieleys oil. It pained me putting that stuff in peoples vehicles.
So, I now drive Ford vehicles. My wife has a 2018 Expedition Max 3.5 and I just got a 2023 F150 2.7L. This is great info for sure as our Expedition gets services at the dealer. However, it seems we need to change to 5000K and not factory recommended.
O'Reilly Oil Isn't Bad
Letting these gtdi motors idle is whats causing fuel dilution, and wastes pricey fuel to boot....why?🤷
Maybe a supplemental video about how many different oil brands that people swear by come from the same refinery. I know Warren is a big player. I am under the impression several brands are just Warren in different bottles.
ALL THE OIL IS THE SAME.
it’s the additive packages
Early oil changes matter. Oil is cheaper than a new engine. In the 3 yrs that I've had my 99 ford explorer 4.0l sohc I've changed the oil with castrol and motor craft fl1a every 3000 miles or 4 months. I do alot more highway driving at 75 mph.
Good explanation of how a UOA is worth the $25 or so that it costs, especially while your motor is new and still breaking in, and under warranty. Know what you are running and know what it looks like at a certain OCI, and adjust accordingly if you want to try and push out your interval. If fuel dilution is such a rampant thing with these twin-turbo EcoBoosts, I don't know why Ford doesn't suggest running a 40w oil such as an ACEA C3 spec; maybe an A3/B4 depending upon the specific specs. I don't want the the 30w to shear into a 20w. Ford says as much for the former V6 diesel they used to offer in the F-150: owners manual says if you run biodiesel (doesn't ask how much) then run a 5w-40. FCA did this on their V6 turbodiesel, as well.
From BlackStone you won't know how good or bad it is... with that low viscosity and flash point, below minimum, the 0.8% don't add to me...
So do your own testing then I'm not here to try to change anything for anybody what I'm doing right now is more than anybody else is doing and it's going to stay that way until somebody else starts doing more don't say nothing
Do you know if the oil life monitor built-in to the car takes it being a boosted engine into count?
We have roughly 15k - 20k mile oil change intervall on most cars in Sweden (diesel). Bearings have no sign of wear at all after 200.000miles. It´s not oil from the 1960 anymore!
You guys also have to realize the oil over there is not the same as the oil over here so you can't compare
@@FordBossMe is you oil really that bad in the US?
I change my oil every week or 100 miles
I work at BP oil labs as a lead mechanical engineer.
There is federal minimum standard for motor oil that has to be met before it can made for customers.
We have to send our test results to a federal facility and some samples for them to test.
All motor oil is made to the same standards, some have more addictives for better protection.
So the cheapo walmart synthetic oil is good up to 5000 miles.
For my experience, Toyota motor oil is the best.
It is 85% effective up to 8330 miles before wear protection is not there.
Although, like you said 5000 miles is a safe bet.
I personally like 3000 miles for any motor that is super or turbo charged.
And 5000 miles for any non turbo or super charged motors
hey i really like yalls gtx hdeo. its getting Harder and harder to find oils with decent add packs and its pretty stout for the price
What about diesel engines?
@@atx-cvpi_99 same deal, there is federal minimum standard that has to be met. Most popular brands go above the minimum with the additives.
the fuel dillution is an issue. id step up a grade. hard to say what the spec is because its saying normal visc is from sae 20 to ALMOST sae 40. id try mobil 1 0w30 afe or maybe even mobil 1 0w40 (non euro) and stay at 5k oci or less.
Mobil 1 is not the end-all-be-all and frankly to be honest with you it's not what everybody makes it out to be
@@FordBossMe mobil makes a good synthetic but i recommended it because those grades are available at Walmart for $27 a jug. if the same grades in Pennzoil or valvoline were at walmart id recommend one of them.
On my 2016 Focus St , I change oil at 4000 or less. Motorcraft filter and Motorcraft synthetic blend oil. 😎👍
Great topic FBM!!!!!!
Good info Rich, I'm gonna try a FL-816 on my Nissan frontier 4.0
What do you think on my 3.5 2020f150 it has 22 k approx 8 k a year I started running full synthetic changing oil aprox every 4-5 months. Is it a waste of money
5,000 Mi or at least by every 6 months you're not wasting your money
Happy to know I haven’t been hurting my engine by going in for the works package on my 3.5 duratec in my explorer
What a non boosted engine? What about a 100%synthetic oil like Amsoil ?
Still 5,000 Mi Max
Check out my Amsoil oil testing
I’ve changed the oil like every 2500-3000 on my 2020 3.5 ecoboost. Probably overkill but it’s still pretty dirty when I change it and the computer monitor is normally down to like 20 percent oil life

@@medjoolmaker yikes
@@medjoolmaker Im not sure about extra time. That “extra time” is wasted charging them and all that “extra money” would probably go into repairing non repairable electronics but who knows.
@@elvism684 yeah, those batteries even reconditioned are EXPENSIVE. Not to mention you have to sit for the length of an oil change just for the thing to charge to half. Electric has a long way to go before it’s going to be mass adopted by everyone because of the issues or inconveniences.

I like your vids amigo. Have you seen the vid circulating with the Nissan engineer saying everyone should do 3k mile intervals? I know your vids are more specific to ford but I just decided to listen to him. I dontbuy all of the new oil tech stuff, it just doesn’t make sense to me all the sudden cars can go 2-3X per oil change. I think you agree based on another video of yours.
Yeah I've seen it and I do agree with him to an extent but there was also another video where he said 2,000 miles
I agree, about 6-7k is max.
I switched from the blend to Full Synthetic in my 2017 Turbo Four Cylinder. Could you do a test on the Full Synthetic 5-30 Motorcraft oil. To see if it's any better than the Blend version. Then I could tell if I am wasting my money on Synthetic instead of the blend. I felt do to the heat from the turbo. That the Synthetic oil would handle the heat better. Thank Ford Boss me! You have helped me understand the Eco-Boost engine better every video. Shawn.
Yes
what weight of oil, 5w20 or 5w30?
Why does the 2020 and 2021 or 2022 oil change says on car screen 10k to change it ? I think this is crazy I do 4 to 5k, I just check the color every month, also you can smell it , this is my case I’m not sure what other people does
Thats highway use - you fit severe service that's 5k max ish
I have enough experience to know Ford wouldn't push garbage I would be more interested in a no name 10 minute oil change place

@@BubblesTheCat1 I’d like a dollar for every drain plug stripped at a quick lube.
No oil that is regulated is garbage.
However synthetic blend is the lowest quality oil before plain old mineral oil.
For people that don’t care it doesn’t matter. It’s sold to be affordable.
You could buy full-synthetic if you want and take care of your engine more than the average person but some people arnt willing to pay more.
Do not trust ford .,.
What about the wix filters?
Here’s my question take my Ford to Ford service oil change how do I know what oils are use?
At ford dealer inquire about a transmission flush. How do I know what oil they will use ask writer and he say they don’t use Motorcraft fluid they claim they have a better one in Motorcraft.
Here I go to Ford dealer to get the oil that was designed for the car not the shop on the corner but who knows what a oil
I'm having a hard time understanding what you're saying buddy
The Car Care Nut is like you when it comes to service intervals. He specializes in Toyotas and he recently made an interesting video on service recommendations for early model Toyota Camry and Modern Camry sedans. People were saying the older Camry's lasted longer well when you go back the service recommendations were very strict and the modern Camry's had gotten less strict. So it goes to show strict maintenance is the key if you want an engine to last many years and get a lot of milage. Good stuff! I personally am not a fan of modern Ford engines, but you are spot on when it comes to service. I do not hate Ford, but I have ran into quality control issues and even other Ford techs have questioned Ford's quality control and design choices as of late. All brands have their good and bad designs with none being perfect. I personally wish Ford would re-think some of their strategies and build more vehicles that are practical for average buyers like they did with the new Maverick.
I like him, he's a smart Guy
Everyone's an expert.
To everyone out there. We owe a big thank you. To Ford Boss me for giving us all his great insite on Fords. There is no one on TH-cam showing us how to take great care of our vehicles. Than Ford Boss me. I have been watching and texting with him from the start. He doesn't have to show or tell us anything about Ford's. But he does! Thanks again Ford Boss me. Shawn.
You are very welcome and thank you for the support
So the bulk oil isn’t Motorcraft?
Ford or Motorcraft they don't make their own oil they have somebody else make it for them
So Motorcraft has a spec that has to be adhered to and they have a company like ConocoPhillips make the oil per their spec
@@FordBossMe Interesting. Learn something new everyday.
You are testing the oil incorrectly . You have to send in clean unused oil to lab and see how different brands compare to their advertised claims . FORD oil in NY is not the same in Calif. The dealerships get it from a bulk oils supplier in there area . Anyway oil testing is great if you can understand what you are reading . It will show bearing material , fuel , antifreeze , a long with other contaminates in the used oil . It is up to you to know what is normal for that engine . Is that antifreeze found telling me the head gasket is going bad ? Maybe it is the intercooler ? I think you can see my point .
Larry go do your own testing
I'm going to test it exactly how I want to test it go do your own testing don't tell me how to do my testing here again I hope I've made myself clear I put a lot of time and money and effort into this I'm not going to change how I do things just because you're not happy with it
I literally have people from mobile Kendall Conoco BP that are on this page that are Engineers that work at testing facilities and if they had a problem with what I was doing they would tell me but here we are little old Larry decided he wants to tell me I'm doing something wrong while the professionals continue to watch they don't have an issue with what I'm doing
@@FordBossMe don't be an ass if you want to test oil brands to compare as you did with filters . Be fair and test them before they used in an engine . If you want to talk about using oil analysis to make a service plan or for diagnostics on an engine that is fine . You said you were testing the oil supplied by your shop . That implies you may be test other brands of oil too.
@@D2O2 I have been sending oil out to be tested since the 1980's . The report we get back tells what is happening with that engine . And you have to be able to read that report . And take what ever actions are needed . If this bit of information upsets you to bad .
I still don't want a boosted engine.
Motorcraft oil was alway's made by Phillip's Petrolium,...... even after being bought by Conoco,.... Phillip's formulating process is still the same.........
What does manual say oil change interval is? What does on board oil life remaining % at? What would amsoil or pennzoil ultra be at 7,500 vs bulk?
I get that those are all your questions but that wasn't the main focus of this video
the focus of this video was an oil change at a decent mileage let's see what the oil is doing inside the engine
You'll have to go back and watch the previous video for any other questions outside of that when I can be able to answer those things right now what we wanted to know is how good bulk oil is
@@FordBossMe gotcha. Just trying to learn
Always use motorcraft filters on my Fords.
I just found your videos! Great info! Just bought ( Feb 23) a 2014 F150 3.5 ECO Lariat w/ 60k. Ford Serviced Entire life. I will be Staying with Ford for PM.
I purchased a new Camaro SS1LE last year March. First oil change was done at 800miles. From that point I change the oil every 2k miles. Excessive? Maybe but worth it when you drive it hard.
