Oil: Pennzoil Ultra Platnium 5W20
Car: 16’ Fusion 1.5 Ecoboost
Change Interval: 5,432 miles
Change History: Factory Fill changed at 1,500 miles with Motorcraft - Switched to Pennzoil Ultra Platinum at 5,000 miles.
Filter: Motorcraft
Type of Driving: Mountainous/Highway/Hard Accelerations Daily
Miles on Car: 30,432
JUSTIN: You're not asking too much of this Ford. In fact, this engine is wearing quite nicely. Universal
averages show typical wear for the 1.5L EcoBoost after ~5,700 miles of oil use. Your metals are low by
comparison, and that shows a healthy engine under the hood. This fill of Ultra Platinum certainly got the job
done. The viscosity is appropriate for the grade, and the flashpoint reading is high enough to rule out any
significant fuel dilution. Oil filtration looks good too (low insolubles). The TBN shows plenty of active additive
left, so let's try ~7,505 miles next time.
