Well did my first UOA on my truck after what i thought would be enough breakin, so the high iron is hopefully just lingering breakin materials. My normal drive is terrible for the oil, 7 miles and 15 min of run time to work twice a day. Right now since it so cold in the mitten i have been using the remote start for a minute or two before I get ready to leave so that's not helping either. Also during the summer its primary job is to pull a 8500lb camper, about 2k of those miles on this change are towing.
I used Castrol EDGE Extended on this fill, honestly because it was the only thing on sale and i wanted to try something different due to a large amount of spark knock (on 93) and noise at the front of the engine. Dealer says its the HPFP but my stethoscope says otherwise. I'm interested to see how it pans out. Probably will change again next fill as i don't believe EDGE Extended is d1g2 and the 3.5l ecoboost can use all the help it can get with timing component wear. Might give the new marketing gimmick, i mean Rotella gas truck a try next time lol.
Blackstone has the oil listed wrong, oil was just PP not PUP.
