Driven all year round. I drive ez when the oil is cold enough to overpressure my 100psi gauge sending unit. I drive very little but I do use a lot of E85 during the summer time and 87 octane with a quart of acetone each 25 gallons of gas. I change the ol since around a year is enough. Oil sees a lot of heat in the summer and a pounding now and then on the streets.12 years on the engine but only 60k on the odometer.
OIL
02 F150
REPORT DATE:
12/10/2013
MAKE/MODEL: FUEL TYPE:
Ford 5.4L V-8 2 valve Gasoline (Unleaded)
OIL TYPE & GRADE: OIL USE INTERVAL:
Amsoil 0W/20 Miles
ADDITIONAL INFO:
Uses E-85
It's been a while since we last saw a sample from your 2002 F-150, and it looks like this engine has developed some excess wear at steel parts (iron). You tracked your oil run in miles for the last sample, so we're not sure how the 1-year interval here compares, but wear metals are higher. If this oil saw around 10,000 miles, then this much iron is fine. If this was a ~2,000-mile interval like before, then the iron is a little worrisome. 1.0% fuel isn't a problem, and no coolant was found. The TBN was good at 3.7. Change this oil out and check back in a similar interval.
