Ok so let me explain, I barely drive her - '14 with 28k on her, and that hasn't changed in several months. I have been using the last several years:
Valvoline Full Synthetic SAE 5W-30 Engine Oil
I have never done an oil study with Blackstone, I am going to send out my current used Valvoline oil to Blackstone - though I am NOT at 5K total miles, but to get a baseline.
Then I am filling her up with Amsoil after all the hype to see how much or equal it is to Valvoline which is less expensive for sure.
I will be using the same Ford OEM filter between changes, to keep filtration out of it.
However don't expect fast results since to be honest I am not hitting the maximum intervals for severe changes 5K, btw I am a severe driver - constantly pushing her - for example this past Sunday a drive along A1A, for 40 minutes at 30-40 miles per hour, to an I-95 return over 100 mph for 10-15 minutes. Peaking 130 for a few seconds.
So the oil will be happening soon, but I am far from the ideal Oil tester, I change more frequently than most more like 2500 miles, it sits long periods of time without being driven, and when I do - unfortunately I bash the **** out of her.
PS - my trying Amsoil is because of the cult like response they have driven up over marketing. I asked Amsoil if they would share any third party testing of their products that were performed independently:

I did, but that is just an article stating what the each website states.

Wow it looks like that O’Reilly synthetic oil it’s pretty damn good, but I’ll pay the extra for the royal purple XPS, which I’ve been using since the car was new.
