[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 712388, member: 61136"] My wifes 3.0 V6 duretec Ford Escape has 50k miles on it. At 45k I switched from 5-20 MC blend to 5-30 MC blend. I changed the oil yesterday at 50k. For the first time since new there were no fine particles of aluminum in the drain pan. My question is does anyone think, Ford might have miss judged the lubrication need ? All in the choice for fuel mileage. I always thought maybe the factory didnot clean up the castings. The block and heads a alluminum. Never had any trouble from the motor run great. Iam leaning towards 5-30 is the proper oil for this motor.:unsure: [/QUOTE]
