Fuel in oil

[jsphlynch]

Well my oil analysis was a dud. Word to the wise, don’t take a small sample and assume it will be enough. Honestly black stone should be a little more clear on how much is required but it’s only $30 so no big deal. I was too worried about drawing out the excess oil not sure if the level would go down on the dipstick since I was going to the dealer the next day. My copper and silicone was high but more or less noted as break in materials not of concern.

The dealer changed the oil at 1000 miles. I’m just under 1400 miles today all highway and my oil is at the top hole. Their mark from changing the oil is within the hash marks exactly where others have reported the correct oil quantity shows up on the dipstick after an oil change. I am going keep monitoring it and if it goes above full it will go back and I will ask them the change the injectors or get Ford involved directly.

For future reference, Blackstone has a helpful instruction page for sampling to help ensure you get a proper sample to them.

Also, while you're perusing their website, be sure to take a look through their FAQ page. Even if you don't have any Q's that might be frequently asked enough to be included in there, it's well worth the read. You'll see what I mean.

I also had high copper and silicon in my first change, but as expected they dropped off rapidly with subsequent oil changes. By the third oil change, levels of both were below the "universal average".

I am new on here, and have just read through a lot of this. Here is my take away.
I am going to get my oil changed every 5k, and do the other factory recommended crap. Other than that, I’m going to drive the hell out of it. If the motor blows, so be it. They can replace it under warranty, and if it’s out of warranty, guess I will have to pay for the replacement myself. I’m not going to worry about it at all. I’m just gonna drive it. I will for sure not be collecting oil samples, and smelling the oil every day when I get done driving it. It is what it is. She’s either gonna last, or she’s gonna blow.

Update.. 1100 miles on my oil change took it back to the dealer who wanted to check it at 1k they said the oil was high and smelled like gas
The service adviser asked if they could keep it and contact ford for further information.. I left the truck there..

Oil level before I took it in..

That's not high, that's just fine.

I agree it was not over the top hole.. It was above their mark and the service advisor wanted to keep for further tests.. I did not complain about that..

I've started a more comprehensive survey to hopefully be able to figure out contributing factors. If y'all wouldn't mind, could you hop over and fill out the survey?

Please let us know if it helps.

It helped alot for me but did not totally fix the problem. My level was going past the twist before HPFP change, now still rises to the top hole or a little above!!

That is what mine does too, Jim. Its weird how it likes to go a little above the top hole and stabilizes there.

Could not have said it better. I did change to full synthetic and simply not worrying about it. I might change every 5000 as well.

Much like Ford did not issue recalls for the Focus and Fiesta transmission issues lol.

I had a 2011 Fiesta. I got Ford to replace the transmission - a 3-month ordeal - and then sold it. I put the BEST freakin' stereo in that car and I miss it to this day. That car was prime real estate for a stereo build, I tell you what. Anyway... thing handled great but that transmission was a joke.
