Since easily posting a Blackstone report is not simple, I just transcribed the report I got for my 2009 Ford Focus 2.0 5-Speed. I used Supertech 5W-30. This is the "new" bottle formula made by whoever. I did changed Supertech 3600 filters at 7,500 miles and topped off.
I drive about 70% interstate/30% city and county roads. My 5 day a week commute on the interstate is 75 miles round trip.

The high silicon comes from me replacing the valve cover gasket and using red RTV sealant in trying to stop the oil from filling the spark
plug sockets. The Mazda 4 cylinders are kinda infamous for this.
Anyway, there it is. Blackstone recommended I go 17K miles next time! Instead I decided to try Rotella 15W-40 T5 SynBlend and a Wix filter.
This is my commuter/beater car and I'm gonna use it as my experimental sled. Nothing but 15K oil changes with a variety of synblend and synthetic oils and we will see what happens!
