Mobil 1 5W20
Motorcraft oil filter
Some degree of fuel dilute

Good call on changing the oil early at 800 miles. Does this engine have the wet timing belt?

Ford did away with that on the 1.5 and put chains on them. Thankfully. Right now we are waiting to see what they will do with the 1.0s with that belt under the recall

I do have some old Blackstone reports on her old Fiesta that had the 1.0 wet belt. We dodged a bullet on that one

 

[twX]

If Blackstone tells you that fuel is at 1.5%, it's probably actually over 5%, especially when the flashpoint is at 355 F. That said, wear metals are looking great for such a new engine, so I don't think the low viscosity is much of an issue.

 

[KCJeep]

Agreed, with that flash point and viscosity you have a lot more fuel than they guessed. Max OCI of 5k.

Is the 1.5 an Ecoboost? Does it really spec 5w20? After seeing this I would not be able to sleep at night without a 5w30.

 

[Triple_Se7en]

Engine could use a 5w30 to soak-up some of that dilution.. Being a Ford product, I'd run Kendall or Motorcraft full synthetic next.

 

[tolian21]

6.95 cSt @ 100C is too thin, probably fuel dilution which blackstone can not accurately measure. 5w30 would be a better fit to compensate for viscosity loss.

Why, the oil did it’s job quite well considering the fuel dilution.

 

[fantastic]

Looking good, Viscosity still in range & wear metals are going the right direction. See these Bronco's everywhere now.

 

[Brons2]

You would probably get better UOA results if you had more cylinders

J/K, nice result, viscosity is low for Xw20, but the engine didn't seem to mind at all.

As always, UOA results do not reflect cylinder bore, piston ring, piston, cam component, chain, pump or bearing wear rates. For that, physical measurement before and after are required.

UOA results are wonderful for trend monitoring. A sudden spike can indicate a problem.

 

[edyvw]

Get yourself some Euro stuff.

 

[Bighorn2500]

Nephew has the same engine in his 2022 Escape, been looking at stepping up to Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 on his next change.

Higher oil pressure may improve oil control ring effectiveness?

 

[Marcozi]

OP, drive the car 30 miles+ at highway + speed on a weekly basis. That will rid the oil of fuel dilution

 

[TiGeo]

Good call on changing the oil early at 800 miles.

Why?

 

[thastinger]

Why?

Because not everyone can be a race car driver so we have to fill our time with more boring activities.

826 miles...probably would last longer if they did it at 752
