The TBN, both last sample and this sample, was tested twice using two different methods. The ones on the picture are the first typically accurate method, but I feel like the titration method is giving the more accurate reading here. This time, the titration method showed 4.43 TBN. I was anxious...

I'm on 10.04 and apparently this will be the longest supported version so far, but correct me if I'm wrong. Seems like I hear it may not be the fastest, but might be the most stable and least buggy.

I am truly saddened to hear this news. Never saw this coming, and I hate to hear this. God bless Gary and his family. He was a great member on this forum and he will be missed without question. Say a little prayer for a good man, ya'll.

Just finished my second full SSO oil change. Ran it almost 17k this time, so I'll be interested to see what the UOA says. FYI - The last time I checked the oil level at around 15k+ I was still above "full". No makeup oil used whatsoever this time around as well.

Year-round in my turbo car for me.

I run Amsoil 0w30 in a vehicle with the same BW turbo, if that counts for much.

Funny because I am watching the original in Blu Ray as I write. Re-make was entertaining. No where in the ballpark of the original John Wayne film. Not even a contest.
