2013 first oil change now making funny noise help

[Jomax]

Let me know how that works out

Will do. Will take a sample of the Mobile 1 with 7500miles and compare.

I've used T6 forever and change it sooner then later at 4kidh miles. But there are a lot of smaller oil companies that make good oil.

What's so bad about the stuff Ford uses? The 15W40? I get mine done at the dealership all the time.

There is nothing wrong with the motorcraft oil you are getting at the dealer. Most importantly just keep up on the services.

Hmm. I gotcha though! Thanks.

I get mine done every 5,000 miles so I think it should be okay?

I'm sure you have some documents to back that statement up?

He got that info from me. I've got samples from guys on here, but need to ask permission first. It cokes the rings more than most and that leads to higher fuel dilution and soot loading. You can PM me and I can share more.

Here's my f150. Break in oil was dumped at 500 mikes. Motorcraft 5-30 in for the first 10k. Changed to LE and the second report is at 14k on the oil. I changed it and this go around I'm going for 20k. On a gasser that's pushing it. But you can see fuel dilution is down over more miles. So is all wear, again, over 4K more miles. The real test will be 20k interval. I should have that in a couple weeks.

documents are from jim like stated.. but i also have abused just about every oil made im my 7.3s.. yes i know its a totally different setup since its hpop vs common rail injection. but the worst oil i ran was motorcraft. i wont run anything in my 6.7 that won't last in my 7.3s.. just reassurance on my end..

This is the kicker, that stuff should be a lower vis, but no where that mouth lower.

Thanks for the info. I was hoping you would chime in. I've got an oil change coming up in the next month or so. I'll be in touch.

I never had a problem with it in my 7.3 is why I was asking. It went from Rotella, to Valvoline, to Motorcraft. It cold started better with Motorcraft than the other two. All three ran about the same once warm.

I've seen Motorcraft start better cold, but that's because it's either sheared down to a lower viscosity or fuel diluted down to a lower viscosity. I think that's what Jake is getting at, it's not holding ICP, which is correlative to vis.

No tick: MC 10w30 has been the better choice for my '15 now at 60k.
No tick: Mobil 1 5w40 does a good job but there is a noticeable difference over the oil life in MPGs.

I may try the Delo 10w30 at the next change interval. Wal Mart has a pretty decent selection of diesel oils and pricing, not to mention MC filters.

I challenge the community to try other oils and see what real results come out. You just might be surprised.

Better MPG doesn't mean it's a better oil, it means the oil has either a lower viscosity or lower HTHS causing lower fluid friction, both translate into a weaker film strength in general. This why Ford recommends a 15-40 in severe conditions. It's a basic engineering principle. It's also why John Force uses a straight 80 weight. Lower viscosity is good for emissions, MPG, a small HP increase and generally better MRV and CCS cold start up values. But you sacrifice film strength at some point.

I'll be comparing Mobil 1 5w40 to LE oil soon.

So Jim, what do you recommend for a 6.7 that's daily driven? Right now I only drive roughly 100 miles a week if that.

 

[jimdawg185]

I wish I drive that much...
1500 miles a week is killing me.

Most of my 6.7 customers are loving our 5-40. I do have some running 15-40, but that's either for consolidation in a fleet or severe duty.

Anything wrong with 10w30 for light use?

Nope, nothing at all. Just as long as it's a cj4
