I checked the engine and couldn't find any leaks in the block. just the hose on the air intake was loose. Will have to wait for next UOA to see if that was the culprit.

yes, I use redline SI-1 almost exclusively, does a great job.

I went over the air intake system and found a hose that was loose

yes, it used a lot of oil, part of the reason I went with the spare engine. The spare engine doesn't burn any oil.

this happened to me once before, the particle counts were way high, the filter was to blame I think, perhaps the bypass valve was stuck open, The engine ran fine, no oil light on. the filter is long gone, if it happens again, I will save the filter and may-by send it to Amsoil for inspection

I started using the Liquimoly when I found out the the Amsoil 0W-30 oil already had some moly in it. I wanted to protect the engine at startup . During WW11, the fighter planes added moly to their engine oil in case of oil pressure loss, sounded good to me.

twX, the Liquimoly I use is a moly infused preparation and I have wondered on more than one occasion if that showed up in the UOA as particles.

I am thinking that there was an oil filter problem. Look at past reports. the insolubles were a .3, just what does that mean? how can the oil be so dirty and the insolubles so low?

I had to reseal the oil pan after the rear main seal went bad.

you are taking a chance that all is well. Look at the iron wear, just think where it would be in another 4k miles.

I wonder if the iron is high due to many WOT runs

Does anyone else use Liquimoly in their engine? If so, what do you think of it?

himemsys, take care if it and it will take care of you. Changing fluids more often than the OEM recommends is vital. Like the man once said "you can pay me now or you can pay me later" Later is when it all falls apart. I still have the original un-rebuilt power steering pump, I attribute that...

Other than the rear main seal, I have had no problems with the "new" engine. I had a devil of a time trying to load the oil report from Blackstone, a good dinner and a couple of bottles of suds made all the difference.
