It's been 4.5yrs since my last UOA on the 3.0L V6 Fusion... so I figured it was due.
I even opted to pull a TBN & TAN reading just to see how the Ultra held up over the 7.5k run. Oil was in use for approx 10mo... with the car driven by my wife. Generally twice a week the car will get a good highway run. We've owned the car since 2010... and have run Pennzoil Ultra (now Ultra Platinum) for approx the past 30k. I've had no engine issues to speak of... and have always had routine maintenance done. The 3.0L may not get the best fuel economy in the world compared to many of the new motors, but it's super reliable and appears to also be super low wearing in my case as well. I hope to get many more years out of it!
