If it were me I would use Delo. I had great success with it in both our 6.0L Powerstroke Fords.

At the end of the if you don't mind sharing what was the final bill for a new motor?

Yeah... Delo 400 but which one??? I started a new post on High Content Zinc oil if you are interested.

What oil are they going to use when they change it out at 500 miles?

Yep that is the question. I guess I don't need to know for about 470 more miles

Any better news on the F150 Homefront?

No clue about OP, but I'm up to 47,xxx miles on my 2015 3.5L ecoboost and it's been problem free. I've been averaging 19MPG with about 1000lbs of tools and supplies onboard, and towing various loads of between 3000 and 7000lbs most weekends.

92k on 2012 ecoboost no complaints.

19 mpg pulling a 7000lb load, that's pretty amazing if that's accurate.

He said he's averaging 19, sometimes hauling about 1000# (he's getting well over 19) and sometimes hauling 7000# (he's getting less than 19) but he's averaging 19 overall, which is still pretty nice! :thumbsup:

2015 2.7EB only 25k miles at 25mpg average highway. Towing my 12k lb dump trailer with 5k of tractor slows it to 15mpg.

No issues, no complaints.

I'm feeling so good about my 2006 F150 with brand new engine... that I decided to fix the rest of it up. Bought a new front bumper and skirt and swapped out the mangled one (story for another day). Also the rails on the bed sides. Now my truck is like brand new except for the heel wear on the carpet just below the gas pedal. Easy and relatively cheap DIY repairs. She's looking new again!
