First run with T6. Compared to other UOA from this engine, T6 results don't look much different. The short run (2K miles) was to keep consistent comparison with last year's UOA. Last year I was dumping and testing at 2K due to fuel dilution, which now seems to be fixed. As with other oils, T6 sheared to a 30 weight in relatively few miles. No TBN done because none of these oils will ever be in the engine long enough for TBN to be a concern.
Previous UOA are further down.
