Mobil 1 5W/30~2003 Mach 1~5,099

[day1si]

This is my Fathers first oil analysis on his 2003 Mach 1 Mustang.

EQUIPMENT MAKE: Ford
EQUIPMENT MODEL: 4.6 Liter V-8
FUEL TYPE: Gasoline (Unleaded)
OIL USE INTERVAL: 5,099 Miles
MI/HR ON UNIT 10,012
OIL TYPE & GRADE: Mobil 1 5W/30 Super Syn
MAKE-UP OIL ADDED: 0 qts
ADDITIONAL INFO:
4 Cam 32V 03 Mach 1

MIKE: High wear and silicon are both common finds in new engines such as yours. The wear is high due to break-in of new parts, while silicon is from sealers and sand-casted parts. Universal averages show typical wear for this engine after 4500 miles on the oil. Your engine should look that good in two or three more oil changes. The viscosity read more like a 10W/30 than a 5W/30, but the flashpoint was still good, so we don't think you're getting any contamination that would cause a viscosity shift. The TBN read 3.5, showing plenty of additive remaining. Check back.

Thanks for posting. I find this useful since the Mach 1 engine is similar to the '96-'01 Cobra engines and it's interesting to see how Mobil 1 ss is doing here.

Also interesting that the analysis considers an engine with 10k miles to be "still breaking in". I suppose that's because it means this interval started around 5,000 miles.

Lead of zero, nice! I guess dad doesn't burn rubber too much?

Not bad at all. I'm more and more impressed every day with M1.

Copper is high, but its still early in this motors life. They tend to take around 10,000 miles before they "loosen" up and get ultimate power and fuel economy. SHould come down nicely over time.

Interesting to see the M1 thickening so much over an interval now.

How does a lab know the cold temperature viscosity if they don't test for it? They mentioned that the oil looked like a 10W-xx instead of a 5W-xx and I'm curious what they see in this analysis that would lead them to believe this. I have seen this in several analysis results also.

Copper is not concerning any of ya'll? That happened on my 02 Accord using 5W-30 M1 SS. Wonder if it's a coincidence or is it something with the oil?
