    2013 Ford F150 3.5 EB, 5,283 mi Motorcraft Blend 5w30

    Oil was Ford dealer fill in July 2018 so I'm assuming it was Motorcraft Blend. Very well could be SN+.

    I collected these VOAs from BITOG when the GC craze was in full force. I didn't note which Labs did the analysis.

    I've got an old spreadsheet somewhere that has VOAs of different batches of GC from when it was first available. I'll see if I can find it and post the numbers.

    01 Audi S4, GC 0w30 (green), 10260 mi

    These are for the A4 1.8T I had. The center 3 uoas are for GC 0w30 from the same stash. The 2006 and 2008 uoas are probably M03xxxxxx but the 2010 may have been M4xxxxxxx. I can't find the original post here so here is original Blackstone reports. Btw: my GC stash was 150+ qts of all Green...

    01 Audi S4, GC 0w30 (green), 10260 mi

    This GC is from my stash and has a date code M04xxxxxxxx so it's 11 years old. Got 19 qts left - not quite 3 OCIs worth. From the last UOA I found a missing clip on the air box that was allowing air to bypass the filter. New clip and good seal on the air box fixed the extra wear. Some of extra...

    Delo 15W-40, 17,017 mi, 02 GMC 2500HD Duramax

    The Delo 400 LE for sample dates 9/5/15 and 5/2/14 is the same oil. This is an extended OCI for 2 OLM cycles. I now have Rotella T6 in as I prefer the easier cranking of the 5w40 over the 15w40 during the late fall, winter, and early spring months where this truck get used the most, i.e. hunting...

    Castrol 0w40, 11,300 miles, 07 Audi A6 4.2 FSI

    Didn't intend to go 11,300 miles. Just ended up that way this time around. OEM interval is 10k miles. I'm satisfied with this oil and report. No reason to change for me. Lab: Blackstone Months in service: 12 Miles on oil: 11,300 Miles on Unit: 82,750 Makeup oil: 1 qt Oil: Castrol Edge Euro...

    01 Audi S4, Liqui Moly Leichtlauf 5W-40, 9500 mi.

    Good question Pete. With the possible ingress of Silicon and adverse effect on the wear numbers, really can't tell from a wear perspective. Other than a healthy fast idle on start up, the engine is super quiet on start up and running. Don't know if that's from the CeraTec or just a nice tight...

    01 Audi S4, Liqui Moly Leichtlauf 5W-40, 9500 mi.

    Rotella T6 is on the list to try once I use up my GC 0w30 stash. Have maybe 4 OCIs worth left to use. Did find one of the airbox clips is missing. The one in the most inaccessible location. The air filter seal on that corner looked crumpled and probably wasn't sealing. Probably the source of...
