Is all this dilution and shearing the reason I get so much oil in the PVC catch can I added? Currently running Kirkland 5W-30 on 5k intervals, in a 2017 Transit with 3.5 ecoboost.When I first started with the Ecoboost engine in 2018 I noticed the Mobil 1 5W30 UOAs not coming back as I liked. In fact most oils were really sheared to 5W20 in the Ecoboost. So I went to Mobil Delvac 5W40 ESP and it worked great in the Ecoboost. Gas prices started rising and API SP came out so I then started using the off the shelf Walmart API SP oils versus getting a batch of Delvac from Summit Racing. The results were much better then in 2018 with API SN oils. So now Im trying to decide which one is best for the Ecoboost. Just finished with Quaker State Ultimate Protection 5W30.
I know my Ecoboost and its ability to shear/dilute the oil. So I just do 3000 mile changes and do it in my driveway. I cant imagine what the oil would be at 10k miles. Sheared and diluted...
If you really looking for a "Heavy Duty" oil for your gas engine Delvac cannot be beat. Maybe you got a 250+/2500+ pickup you really put to work and tow a lot. Delvac will work. There is a Quaker State Euro 5W40 API SP if you want to go thicker.
I cant speak for the Ford Transit. The Ecoboost in the 2017 and today is a lower power last generation model. My Ecoboost is a high output 2nd generation model.Is all this dilution and shearing the reason I get so much oil in the PVC catch can I added?

Nothing wrong with that as long as you leave the drain plug off.I know there are die hard fans for Mobil 1 and they have their reasons. I thought I might be open minded and finally pour it into the engine to see how it stacks against Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. I found in Walmart the "Extended Peformance" version with the almighty triple action plus formula. Surely oil tests will be forthcoming!

That is a LOT of shearing for 3000 miles! Of course, it is Blackstone, it could actually be fuel dilution.
