So you have proof of that? Is there a youtube video or web site were someone tested there oil after 500 or so miles on a new engine. I am actually asking. If there isn't then why make such a statement? If there is let me know. I will stand corrected.All of you who constantly pound "metal flakes/particles/etc" in the oil due to break in need to put your oil analysis where your mouth is.
Someone change it at 1,000 miles and let's see the report showing this contamination.
It's BS - a relic of the past.
New engine parts are lapped to some extent, but the Ra is still large enough to create a break-in situation.All of you who constantly pound "metal flakes/particles/etc" in the oil due to break in need to put your oil analysis where your mouth is.

A larger XG3600 fits and does increase oil capacity for sure.Is there a larger oil filter that will take it 5.7 to 6 qts?
Oops, I forgot to mention I was asking for the Hybrid.New engine parts are lapped to some extent, but the Ra is still large enough to create a break-in situation.
Tons of proof. Just one example is at: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/t...subsequent-pup-6k-miles-2021-kia-niro.352037/ Typical example here. ...
You'll notice wear metals are around 3 times what they should be in break-in factory-fill (FF) original oil. This is typical for the dozens of oil UOA's from FF I've seen over the last 10 years or so.
Many other examples of UOA's from factory oil having high PPM levels if you care to look.
A larger XG3600 fits and does increase oil capacity for sure.
A larger XG8A MIGHT fit and increases oil capacity even more, although I'm not sure if the XG8A is too wide;, I'll try it later; ... only get an XG8A if you want to see if it clears; it might not.
Thanks for the proof. This is why I always change my oil on a new engine at about 1000 miles. Metal from break in. So clearly not a relic of the past. For those that extend oil changes in the 10K range Yikes I don't want a used car from you.New engine parts are lapped to some extent, but the Ra is still large enough to create a break-in situation.

When you said 5.7 quarts, that is the Hybrid oil capacity (with filter), so it identified as a Hybrid. Ecoboost has 5.5 qts.Oops, I forgot to mention I was asking for the Hybrid.
Thank youWhen you said 5.7 quarts, that is the Hybrid oil capacity (with filter), so it identified as a Hybrid. Ecoboost has 5.5 qts.
Both use same oil filter. I assume an XG3600 fits on the Ecoboost like I know it does on the Hybrid, but needs confirmation. My future experiment to get the even bigger XG8A might be nuts though, as it takes up 0.4" more radius & might contact something.
From one old mechanic to another you nailed itFirst off no big oil is behind when to change your oil. Now my info is rather dated but I will give it to you anyway. I worked at Chevy dealer back in the late 80's till about 96. Oil gets dirty from piston blow by. Exhaust gas gets past the piston rings and contaminates the oil. That still happens and no piston rings have no that much improved.
So with that said we had some Government vehicles which followed the oil change guidance in owners manuals. Well those engines gummed up big time. Then if you read the fine print in owners manual it said only follow if under normal conditions. Well what was that. it was a whole host of things no one could possibly meet. Examples, drive car at minimum 25 miles every day to fully warm the oil to burn off any condensation built up in oil. Then they had a parts per million in dust in air. . . Temp had to be 72 F. and on.
On all my new cars i change the oil first at 1000 miles. New engines have all sort of filings inside during initial break in. Yes rings and bearings, camshafts have a break in. small metal particles I want them out. i used to build race engines too back on the day. Mostly small block chevy or big blocks.
I am sure many will see thats ancient tech. Maybe so but mechanics of engines aren't that much better. fuel delivery and design has greatly improved but tolerances you may think are better but there not. You can only do so much with piston rings which is the main cause of dirt getting into oil.
Take it for what its worth. ignore if you don't like it.
oh I change my oil at 5K I don't have a Mav yet I have Ford Ecosport 2.0 now. it uses ford Synthblend oi. l What does the hybrid 2.5 call for? should be in owners manual
had my first oil change on sat at 6300 miles, the app has not reset yet.For those that have changed their oil already, did the oil life monitor reset on its own? Or did you have to reset it manually? Just trying to determine how “intelligent” it is.
Who is doing the uoa? Please post the results! I’ll be taking a sample to send to blackstone when I hit 6000 on this oil.I am at 3700 miles on mine and get my first Oil Change this weekend. According to the Ford App I still have 66% of oil life remaining and 6400 miles to go. But I am about to take a 5K+ mile road trip and would rather do that before and after rather than try and skimp and get by with what the monitor says.
Working fine here. iPhone on newest update. Ford pass on 4.18.1My oil monitor stopped working in the App....keeps telling me to check back later and that was a month ago
You need to reset it in your dash screen. I’m pretty sure it’s just milage based.had my first oil change on sat at 6300 miles, the app has not reset yet.
