An update
2010 2L Duratec Focus LVII auto - 68,700kms M1 EP 0W20 - 4yrs/17,808km Driving Conditions: All city driving Zero oil added over the 4yrs, stayed right on the full mark. I live overseas from the car. Last oil change was 2018 with an original planned OCI of 2yrs. Due to travel restrictions in 2020-2022 I was unable to get back to do maintenance on the car. Luckily using a high reserve oil was able to extend safely past the usual milage and keep it going. As the oil did reasonable mileage I flushed motor with spare oil I had on hand. Drained the oil, drained the old filter, reinstalled the old filter. Filled up with some new but old oil (Val Durablend). Ran the car for a few minutes as varying revs. Shut it down, drained the oil, removed the filter. New prefilled oil filter installed. Refilled with: Mobil 1 EP 0W20 Filter: M1-102 change Schedule OCI: 2yrs Before oil change: New M1 after startup. |
