I recently sent another oil analysis in on my 2018 F150 with 3.5 EcoBoost.
I have switched to Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic, & this sample is from the 2nd oil change after switching brands. Decided to go with an oil recommended for Turbocharged engines, Dexos 1 Gen 2 oil.
Happy to see that my fuel dilution is lower than some of the previous samples, with the cold weather we were getting in February, & increased idle/ warm up times. I also sent in a new Virgin oil sample for the Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30.
I sent another duplicate sample from this oil change to Blackstone labs for comparison, to see if they are able to pickup any fuel dilution.
