Unfortunately, I sold the truck. All of the samples I've done are already posted in this thread.

Yes, that is exactly what I did. I switched to Motorcraft fully synthetic 5w-20 at the first oil change and used a new stock Ford factory oil filter with each oil change.

sold!!!

reduced to $44,500 obo My local dealer will give me $42,000 for the truck, so if it doesn't sell soon, it will go to them.

reduced to $45,500 obo I've had lots of calls and lowballs, but no serious offers yet. I'd rather sell it to an enthusiast than sell it to a dealer.

I'd go with OSU.

I'm really surprised at the lack of tie down areas. Your solution looks very useful and the installation looks like it could have come from the factory like that. Very nice.

Scottwax is the man. I use Opti Seal because of him and couldn't be happier.

I have not heard of anyone having this issue. Is the truck on level ground? Did you start the truck after adding oil to let it circulate for a minute and then recheck the oil level?

I tried to slowly increase the intervals each oil change. I still have it analyzed each change regardless of the interval.

My latest report with 7,480 miles on the oil...

I went with what Ford recommends. As lomg as I'm under warranty, I will stick with Ford fluids for the transmission. I don't have any issues or complaints after the flush, so I don't see a reason to use anything else.

I had my transmission flushed at 22k miles. I didn't need to do it, but I figured it would be good to have it done to get any wear metals that might be in the oil. My trans wasn't shifting hard before i had it done, but when cold, you could feel the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts more than I liked at...
