The engine was going great, used really hard, this helps to burn off the contaminants in the oil, it was the oil control rings that let go BIG time in the end, using 1L in about 30 miles!!
Inside of engine was clean as a whistle, I use flush before every change, change oil at around 6000 miles, the last 10,000 miles were on Comma 20W50 MINERAL oil, as oil consumption had shot up.
I refuse to and would never use a ford oil filter, found rust inside some that were literally only days old, pops had one on a mondy that sprung a leak from the edge genuine ford again, I use only MAHLER.
