Hi everyone, I've been a long time lurker. I have heard the argument for and against 5w20 and 5w30 for the F150 due to the cam phaser problems, so thought I'd post my results. The QSUD is considered a very stout 0W20 from what I've read online, which the results show it held up well. TBH, I thought it wouldn't because my gas mileage started to drop around 1300 miles and I thought for sure it wouldn't hold up as well. I don't know if I should be concerned about the flash point though since it's below the >385 spec for averages on the report. The UOA reply didn't say anything about it though, and said I could go 7k. Don't think I would ever go above 5k though. Right now I have 5W20 PPPP to see how the lower weight works for PPP in comparison.
