I went a bit extreme and completed the first oil change at 727 miles, using a Motorcraft filter and synthetic blend oil. Then I did another change at 2687 miles, using Motorcraft oil but switching to an AMSOIL filter. On the next oil change at 5127 miles, I switched to Pennzoil Ultra Platinum...
I am not sure if it's the oil or something going on with the engine. According to the test, engine is going strong. The Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is definitely a better oil vs the Motorcraft blend as I had more miles on the Pennzoil. I will keep testing every oil change and will switch brands if...
I use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W-30 with the AMSOIL EA15K43 filter, which filters down to 20 microns at 99% efficiency, compared with Motorcraft’s 30 microns at 80%.
I might change the oil I use because Pennzoil is showing lower viscosity than it should, according to a lab test.
Recall was completed without any issues. I have family with me most of the time, so I'd rather have them protected as much as possible by the truck than worry about dealer-caused damage to it.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max fits on the charger (there is still room for a larger phone), but with the new camera form and case, I am having issues with wireless charging.
