how was that crown vic? this was the police interceptor type model? those things are badass, hands down. its like, if you are going to get a ford, be a man about it and get that. either that or an old bronco or F150. that car is a destroyer and if you have a black one, everyone always thinks youre a cop. those cars fly too and durable as hell. id take that over some shit Focus SVT or whatever any day.

It just turned over 301k miles...(original engine and transmission) I am very anal about car maintenace as you can tell... and that's why I ran the blackstone reports on the oil. To make sure I get the interval right.
10k miles on synthetic in that car is perfectly fine even thought the factory manual calls for 3k miles with dino oil
It's not the PI model because those tend to be abused and have stripped out interiors, holes in the roof and trunk etc. This is a fully loaded version, with leather, auto lights, auto hvac, etc etc. Got it for 7k and with 65k miles about 8 years ago and me and my dad were driving it ever since.

I can't seem to find them, I must have given them to the dealer with the paperwork for it.
I want to say one was a tad over 1% and the other was .8 or .9.
My drive is only like 1.5 miles though so a lot of short trips. 3k change intervals, Stage 2+. I also used to let it warm up for a while, which is known to put a bit of fuel into boxer motors oil because fuel can pool on the cylinder wall.

Guy on 'tex said his analysis came back at 0.2% and that was at his first 5k. I'm 4x as high.
I wish I wasn't referring to fuel in my oil when I said that

In case anyone cares, I found this oil analysis thread for R's.

Looks like everyone had fuel% readings <0.5% (except one guy who had 2.5% fuel... Ouch!)
In any case, I am a bit high but it's not that bad... Good to know:thumbsup:

10k oil changes lol
3k, once you up the power you need to change your oil much more frequently.
Save your motors. It's worth it.

It's my understanding that break in is done at the factory. I change my oil every 5K miles & will continue to do so. I live in a hot dusty area & I drive the car hard at times. It really doesn't cost that much to change your own oil. I'd rather be safe than sorry.

pppffftttt
Bro that Moly B reading is super low.... I am ignorant on the oil analysis stuff but from Military experience (aviation) I know you want to have MORE not LESS Moly B.... Like I said, I am noob to all this stuff but I do know what Moly B is and the purpose it serves... I kind of want to do an analysis of my oil now for the hell of it... I just had my oil changed at 15k after a VERY QUICK trip from Oregon to Colorado btw the 140 between Klamath Falls and Winnemucca...... try it out some time ;-)
