2013 Ford Edge 3.5 NA. 118k mi; Mobil 1 Advanced 3.5k mi; after engine work done

[Scott S]

This is the second oil change I had done after I had the timing chain, tensioners, guides and water pump replaced out of preventive maintenance. The first oil change I only went about 500 miles.

This is Mobil 1 Advanced 5W20
2013 Ford Edge 3.5 Duratech 118,000 at the time of the UOA. 3500 miles on the oil

Too hard to read.
Please post a better image, and update (edit) your thread title with the proper info (oil and miles; engine brand, displacement and miles)

 

[Scott S]

This is the best I can do..

I don’t remember seeing Mobil 1 with that much moly lately, could that be related to the recent work?

I don't know to be honest with you.. but I did an oil change, 500 miles I believe it was after the work was done. Then I put Mobil 1 in it.
The technician put in Napa 5W20 synthetic.

Is this 5w-30 or 5w-20? It's Natural Gas engine?

Sounds like you're wanting to clean up any debris left from the work done. Thanks for sharing!

I usually change my oil every 6 months, regardless of miles.. typically it's not many, 5000 at most, and that's maybe only during the summer

Ah, Do you know who did the lab testing?

Thanks, They are a convenient & widely available kit to use. They did have a slow turnaround time there for a while but I've not had much delay using them.

I was actually surprised I had it back, in a little over a week, if it was even that long, much faster than Blackstone Labs

@dnewton3 I can't figure out, why the UOA differs so much from the VOA with this oil it has more Molly more Zinc sort of confusing?

CNG engine? Was this a factory CNG application or a conversion?

Or is it gasoline fuel, naturally aspirated engine?


Fe wear seems high for a Cyclone engine, but some may be residual break-in of the "new" components.

 

[Scott S]

I'm figuring that is still break in wear.. It is a 3.5 gasoline Duratech engine. I can't figure out why there is more additives in the UOA then the VOA?

 

[Scott S]

I guess this is something nobody can really answer, why the additives are higher vs VOA?
