I have been curious as to how my internals are wearing; am I close to needed new bearings or are they pristine etc. So on the advice of Jesse, VMP top tech, he suggested I do a oil analysis which will tell me how the motor is doing with 68000 miles on it.
Got the report today and it speaks for itself:
DON: This Mustang seems to be in good condition. Some metals are a touch higher than we expect after a short run, but they're all within the realm of normal. Universal averages make a nice comparison to how most Ford 5.4L Supercharged engines wear after about 3,300 miles of oil use. Silicon is high, but we think it's from a harmless source, like a sealer or lube, since wear is good. It never hurts to give air filtration a once over, though, in case it's dirt. The TBN is strong at 4.6, showing plenty of active additive in reserve, since 1.0 is what we consider low. Nice report!
