Do EcoBoost engines accumulate contaminants in the engine oil faster/differantly than naturally aspirated engines?
As of today, 11/17/19, our ’19 Explorer with the 3.5L EcoBoost has 9,100 miles on it. I’ve changed oil using 5W30 Mobil1 Synthetic and Motorcraft FL500S oil filters at the following mileage intervals:
- 1,040
- 4,100
- 6,500
Even a few hundred miles after the oil change, I'm suprised how "dark" the engine oil is.
This is the first TT vehicle we’ve ever owned.
It runs fine, I have no reason to believe there are any issues. Maybe it’s me...
Maybe I should send a sample to Blackstone Labs for analysis?
