Oil analysis from Blackstone

[MustangNoob]

Oil analysis of my second coyote engine. Numbers on the table are more accurate form the ones I provide to blackstone. Oil has always been full synthetic.
When engine got installed I requested to add full synthetic motorcraft. Then in every oil change I used full synthetic Mobil 1 5w-30. Oil analysis in the first and third changes + TBN .

Who spelled mileage wrong twice, differently each time? LOL

I was going to do the oil analysis on my car, but then I thought, what would I do with the results?

In other words, if the results were bad, what could I do about it? It is to laugh if you think Ford would take action. They'll wait until the engine stops working and then replace it.

Not trying to harsh on the OP, I'm honestly curious what anyone would do if they had bad results other than perhaps water or coolant indicating a head gasket issue.

I wonder that too. I'd bet most drivers only know something is amiss when their engine just quits or catastrophically goes up in smoke! I'd also bet some engines go boom on purpose for whatever reason. Say, buyers remorse? I even wonder how many average daily drivers have their oil analyzed? I suspect I would if I owned a GM V8!

Yeah, I'd question the validity of those results if they can't even spell correctly.

I'm guessing that Excel screenshot is from the OP

I'd be running the $15/jug semi-synthetic for the first couple break-in changes, it's only 2,500 miles. Then run 'good' oil for the first 'regular' interval change

That said what else do you expect for a new motor...I guess it doesn't hurt to know the engine is in good shape. But at $50/test or whatever....

My fat fingers spelled the mileage wrong. As for the results, if they were bad, I'm pretty sure Ford couldn't do anything unless there was coolant in the oil and you'd see the coolant level drop over time. That's what happened with my old engine. As for the other numbers, if they were bad, I'd just drive it hard until the engine lets go and put a new one under warranty.

I got several analyses in a row from Blackstone on my first few oil changes. Although you can't do much about problems that might show up, the analyses showed how the additives were holding up and how long the oil could really go between changes. I've always used Motorcraft full synthetic -- initially 5w-20, then 5w-30. The Blackstone reports were showing that I could go up to 10,000 miles. I still change at around 7,000 to maintain a good cushion, but with oil changes involving 10 quarts of full synthetic, it's worthwhile not to send good oil down the drain.

Probably peice of mind since he had the engine replaced IIRC.

I think getting an analysis done can be a good idea. I wouldn't do it on a regular basis, like truckies do though. Detecting fuel dilution early is one example.
Also, if you find high levels of bearing material, it might save engine goes boom.
