2.7l low mileage Broncos oil deposits
There is a thread on BITOG, two 2.7 V6 low mileage Broncos. Driven and maintained similarly. The one using Valvoline restore and protect is super clean and should be.
The one using HPL looked like it's getting dirty. Sludge looking brown deposits. Im glad i did not buy into the HPL. The motor using it looked UGLY for the miles.

I saw one of those threads and don't think anyone asked if most of the miles were super short trips or if the auto stop/start was being used. The WORST ENGINE I EVER SAW saw a small block Chevrolet that was driven two or three miles to work every day.
Mobil 1 for me all my vehicles - only one EcoBoost, a 2.0. My son has been using Motorcraft in his 2.7 Ecoboost, I'll have to see if I can peek in the oil fill port and see how clean it is.

I don't get using oddball non-mainstream oil brands.
There are so many cars that make it to 150,000 or 200,000 miles on Jiffy-Lube swill that only gets changed after the light comes on, that the folks that care about oil and longevity can easily do better by using brand names and changing more often.
Why would someone wake up one day and say, "Instead of Pennzoil or Quaker State or Valvoline or Castrol or Mobil1 or Shell/Rotella or etc., I'll go out of my way to buy me some HPL oil!" ?
