2019 Ford Escape 1.5 Ecoboost 4 cyl - Restore and Protect 5w-20 3.9k miles

I don't think there is really anything remarkable about this report. I just wanted to upload it for the community to have a resource to look at for a 2019 Ford Escape with the 1.5 liter ecoboost. This is my wife's car and this is my first UOA I have had run. I had it done to make sure there wasn't anything bad creeping up like coolant leaks since the 1.5 liter was known to have issues. Will probably rerun the report yearly. I made a note that before the sample was run I cleaned the intake with CRC intake valve cleaner. They didn't think it would cause any skewing of the report but I noted it anyway.

Report looks fine but you have fuel dilution issues with an EcoBoost you should be running a 5w30. Blackstone is not good with fuel dilution but you can see it in the viscosity and flash point.

JMO.

Looks good, Thanks for sharing your Escape's UOA.

I did go to 5w30 on this on the change I took this sample. I didn't do it for that reason when I did it because I wasn't aware it would have fuel dilution. I did it because its been over 100 degrees here and I switched to 5w30 Restore and Protect. I guess its good I did. Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks for posting your results.
Welcome to the Forum.

I have a 2021 Ford Escape
1.5L, 3-cylinder Ecoboost engine.

I did a UOA with 3,623 miles on oil .... odometer at 11,947
My only concern was 'fuel dilution' / report shows 2.4%

I use Mobil 1 oil and figure I'll change it every 3,500 miles.
For 'my' driving style (short trips) at 3,500 miles the OLM is at 14-16%

I believe in regularly changing ALL fluids and oil undercoating (rust-belt area).
I am liking the 36 MPG.
