If the bearings are worn down, I would think you'd see SOME lead in a UOA. I am having a hard time believing that the bearings could be worn down to thier shell.
UPDATE
I was told today that the engine in this vehicle seized up last week. The mileage was around 50,000. Looks like those who sugested that major damage was done were correct.
This was a company car, so no worries that an individual got screwed after purchasing this from a used car lot.
BTW: This was NOT my car.

Dock it is terrible what you did to your car!!
Too bad it quit running I was going to say to top it off and resample in another 26,000 miles.
"We are not ready to call any of these results a problem"
Great call from Blackstone!!
"Suggest resampling in 5,000 miles to monitor iron."
Without changing it?
"Silicon was high and may show dirt getting past the air filter"
Better run out to the Zone and get a new filter before it is towed off!!

oxidation # would have been interesting
Dock,
Please next time, make sure you let us know it is not your car....
Must be clear!

Wait, 50k more miles on the motor, so it died at 117k? You said the car had 67k before the update.
Maybe the weight of all the iron in the engine reached critical mass, caused a quantum singularity (black hole), and in true Star Trek style caused the Lincoln to wrap around the sun before being propelled back in time to a point when it only had 50,000 miles, at which point it seized?
By the way, about the absence of lead, I think this engine is basically a suped-up version of the Duratec you see in the Ford Escape/Ford Taurus.
That engine turns in zero lead regardless of what you do to it. I don't think it even uses lead based on 3 of my UOAs.

Two things:
1) run the second batch of oil for a short OCI and then change it again--the first batch of fresh oil can pick up any debris left over from the previous (exceedingly) long OCI.
2) don't let him do this again.....

Mitch,
You must not have read the whole thread real careful-like.
This engine seized a few days back. No more UOA on this one, as a 4-year-old company Lincoln car with a seized engine is probably NOT getting returned to service.

bump. I miss the original guys who no longer post here, they were spot-on many times.
Interesting UOA for sure!
If the engine never got low on oil, would it still seize?
Is the low oil due to sludge formation?

Probably because the bearings are completely gone and there's no more lead left to shed haha.

Yeah same here. I always see a ton of the old school screen names when I do a BITOG Google search. Makes me wonder whatever happened to them
