Silicon really isn't high enough to be concerned with. Almost everything looks good, except the consistent fuel dilution. You might want to consider replacing your O2 sensor, if you haven't already.

It could be a driver issue, you might want to check if all the drivers are up to date.

10k seems like like a good idea since you don't want any sludge to start forming. Wear metals look good though.

M1EP they claim is up to 15k, but I have never seen a recent claim for plain M1 since the addition of M1EP. My guess is it is due to marketing reasons.

Moly, Zinc, Phosphorus, and Boron are some the elements that are commonly used in anti-wear additives. So, you are just seeing different anti-wear additive packages. I am not sure if there is any correlation between though.

Well the oil is not completely like new and I am sure the TBN would show that, but I would guess the TBN would also show it has lots of life left in it. I said like new based on the fact that the viscosity started out at 10cst @ 100C, so it barely changed. Also, the flashpoint remains high which...

Everything looks good, the oil for the most part looks like it is new. I would guess you could extend your OCI to 7,500 miles+ quite safely, if you wanted to.

I switched to Chrome and have not gone back, except for the rare incompatible website. When I switched to Firefox I eventually switched back to IE.

There are tons of mixes available, but I know some people who add a little vanilla pudding mix to their smoothie, I have never tried it though.

I went from a 0W-20 to a 0W-40 and noticed quite a bit of difference in the sound of the engine at startup. Also, at cold temperatures the 0W-40 made the engine much harder to start. At operating temperatures I noticed no difference in feel or sound of the engine. Personally, I don't believe...

The oil did fine; however, there was quite a bit of fuel in the oil. I would try to nail that down before extending your OCI any further.

I have a hardtail that is totally built and I love it. For the type of riding I mostly do it works great, but I have been thinking about a FS bike for quite a while. A friend of mine has a FS 29er and that has an awesome ride. For a DH bike I don't think I could buy anything, but a 29er after...

For the price of memory I would go with 4GB that way you don't have to upgrade a year or so from now. The amount of memory you need is totally dependent on the O/S you use and the applications you run. That is kind of a slow cpu, you might just consider upgrading to a new computer. Another...

You will not notice any difference by adding more memory. Most people do not need more than 4GB of memory at this time and anything more will just not be used. Hard drive speeds can make quite a bit of difference. If you are really into performance you might want to consider a RAID setup. But...

Hmm, sounds a little fishy. Seafoam has a viscosity and unless it is the same as the oil it is put in it will change the viscosity of the oil it is put in. Granted 6oz probably won't change it that much.
