Yesterday was a big day.
We bought our 2012 Fusion summer of 2015 with 25k miles on it. The previous owner always had it serviced at the Ford dealer. I have always run MC SB 5W20 in it. Until yesterday. I have been reading here on BITOG and pondering. It now has almost 118k miles on it. We moved from WI to southern NC. Yesterday I changed oil and put in Castrol EDGE 5W30. After in put in the 5.5 quarts I pulled the funnel out and was going to wipe it off and put it away, when I just happen to look at it and see that the permanent black film that has been in it for a long time has been cleaned off where the oil touched it. Crazy, I have never seen anything like that.
Then I was wondering if the inside of my engine looked like that funnel and it is going to clean it up as well?
