Nice, is that oil DEXOS certified? Thank Younsir
Hi Adam,Nice, is that oil DEXOS certified? Thank Younsir
Wow, talk about a blast from the past...2003 Jaguar S-Type 3.0 V6 Sport w/ 5sp manual
130,700 miles on ODO. 5,700 mile OCI.
out: Mazda full-synthetic 5W-30
in: 4qt Valvoline MaxLife NextGen 5W30 (2011 vintage) + 2.5qt Shell Rotella T6 5W-40, Motorcraft FL-400S filter
Note: As I poured in the last quart of the old Valvoline, I noticed a bit of white greasy substance on the funnel. Consistency of soft lard. I am not really concerned but surprised that motor oil is starting to turn to a solid after less than 13 years in a sealed bottle. Hopefully some heat cycling and mix with fresh Rotella will rejuvenate it!

I bought the car w/16K on it, but yeah, since then.Have you ran that exact same oil from day one?
Was it the FL820S before that? If so, either should work fine, but the FL500S is a better filter.Turns out I've been running the wrong filter on it since I bought it last year. For this year fusion ford changed filter specs and specs to the Fl500s after 9/09 and this car of course it was made in October of 09
While I don't think it ultimately matters what filter you use, the PH2 equivalent is probably a better match to the Fl500 than the 10575 since the 10575 is a high bypass filter and I'm pretty sure the Motorcraft filter is more of a typical pressure bypass filter, that filter size and the aftermarket equivalents are kind of a mess, in the filters directly from Champion labs there are two seperate part numbers that are that size the ph500 with the standard bypass valve and the ph10063 with the higher pressure valve while Fram only has the 10575 and the Delco PF63 is considered a cross reference, so really it's hard to say what the "correct" filter should be since all the filter manufacturers don't seem to be in agreement.2009 Ford fusion 3.0 V6
Out. Mobil 1 hm 5w20 and pureone l24651
In. State hm full syn 0w20 and a supertech 10575 filter.

FYI - The FL500S and the Fram 10575 cross-over to each other, and according to this post with info from Todd Vick at Purolator, the FL500S has a bypass valve setting of 17+ PSI.While I don't think it ultimately matters what filter you use, the PH2 equivalent is probably a better match to the Fl500 than the 10575 since the 10575 is a high bypass filter and I'm pretty sure the Motorcraft filter is more of a typical pressure bypass filter, that filter size and the aftermarket equivalents are kind of a mess ...
