2009 Fusion, Schaeffer S7000 5W20, 1300 miles

[Colt45ws]

24,900 on engine. 6 months on the oil. Pureone oil filter. I didnt intend to go this long, I had forgotten about it and didnt think it was in there that long.. I think Im going to have to do an OCI of maybe 3 months time based because of the fuel dilute.

I think the sodium is residual from whatever oil was in there.

1,300 miles on the oil? That analysis doesn't look all that great for just 1,300 miles. Did you mean 13,000 miles?

And wow: that's a ton of fuel in the oil. Did you change the oil nice and hot or was it after a cold start?

 

[Colt45ws]

No, one three zero zero miles on the oil.
I believe it was just started and run long enough to turn it around and put it on stands.

 

[Colt45ws]

I forgot last post, but I called them and left a message for them to run a TAN. I suspect its gone acidic.

 

[Colt45ws]

TAN was 2.7

do you pay a lot for this Schaeffer stuff? seems awful light on the Phos/Zinc package

 

[Colt45ws]

P/Z reads low most likely due to blackstone method.

Reguardless this was the last of it. I have Pennzoil Platinum in it now.

 

[Colt45ws]

Im thinking seriously of going 5w30 on the next run. It has 5w20 platinium but I think Ill 5w30 next time to counteract the amount of fuel.. Any thoughts?

Colt,
What is dumping all that fuel?
How is performance, mileage, etc?
Something is up!

 

[Colt45ws]

It never gets warm, thats what is up. It is basically the same usage as mine except without the benefit of weekly runs with the purpose of getting it hot. Even with that though I barely get double the OCI.

 

[ChiTDI]

V6 or a 4?
Do you get decent performance/economy with this car?
I guess what I'm trying to determine is if the car is the issue or the service interval/ testing style is the problem.

Schaeffer's 30-weight products seem to do really, really well in all application they are put in. But the 5W-20 product seems to fall flat on it's face - I have yet to see good results with Schaeffer 5W-20.

???

 

[Colt45ws]

It has the 3.0L V6 and it runs excellent with good mileage.

I had Schaeffer 30 weight drop to a 20 in 5k miles. Both 7k and 9k offerings. It does NOT handle fuel dilution well at all.
