I will be making a phone call tomorrow!!

Who's knows what they will say, because they don't seem to know or want to know what's going on, my situation was way worse before the HPFP change and that was all their oil changes!

Yeah Doc and I was way worse than that when this whole thing started! IT'S ALL NORMAL THO!!!

Got my results back from Blackstone,not looking too good. Fuel dilution up quite a bit but last test was done with less than 400 miles on the oil. This test almost 3000 on the oil, although the level on the dipstick was also at the top hole! Gonna change the oil and see what happens this time. I...

My 07 Harley Softail Custom, less than 400 a year, man can't believe what you guys are paying up there!!

You have to do what you can to try to make things improve when you have limited help from the manufacturer!!!

If your going up to the top hole from the top of the hash mark in a few hundred miles I really don't think 5 or 6 less ounces of oil is going to matter. Just going to bring the level up more!

Yeah about an eighth of an inch over hash marks if the 6.2 quarts are added!! I do not worry about the .2 part having fuel dilution, I put in 6 quarts.

I think it stands to reason after letting the truck sit overnight all the oil has drained down to the pan and cooled that's when you would get your most accurate reading. Every vehicle I've owned that's the way I checked it for an accurate reading!!

That's Ford tuff, tuff to deal with. Everytime I read about your situation I get even more aggravated!

87 and full synthetic

Mine was that bad before the HPFP change but that improved it quite a bit. But did not fix the problem, I've been trying to improve it further. It seems like the change to 5/40 has helped also,now I've been staying right around the top hole. Before the 5/40 oil change I was going about a quarter...

Some have reason to worry, when your draining out an extra quart or more of oil at change time, not normal!

I push it in all the way till it clicks. Have done that with every vehicle I've owned, don't know why the Ranger would be any different!!

I sent a sample off to Blackstone 4/6/21. I've been running 5/40 for 3100 miles now. I'll let you guys know what the test results are when I get them!

Seems like it's helping me, went to 5/40 about 3100 miles ago. Level got out of control with 5/30 haven't gone pzt the upper hole with 5/40

I think he should have ran that setup down near the bottom of the truck to really suck some of that clean air! LOL

That's what's strange about this whole thing. Some it shows up from brand new and for some it takes 10 to 15 thousand miles to show up. Mine didn't start till between 8 and 9 thousand miles!

They claimed they did all those tests on mine and it passed them all! Before that they did change the HPFP, that helped it was really bad at that point!

I posted a link on that most modern day synthetics can handle up to 4% fuel dilution. I've even read some saying it could be as high as 7%, but the article also stated just in testing not recommended !
