Please, no throwing rotten fruit. It contaminates the sample.

At 10k both the Amsoil and Mobil tests consumed the same amount of makeup oil. Same for the next analysis at 11k.quote:

The oil went in after the 9k sample draw. You need to read the comment section below the data section.quote:

It appears that Amsoil is using the Magnesium more for friction modification than for tbn retention, since there are various magnesium additives; a. some are used as high tbn detergents, b. some variations for friction modification, and c. some are combination detergents/FM's. I suspect they are using the b. version.quote:

Thanks Molekule. Glad your around to share this kind of info.quote:

If it were not for the Boron, another alkali metal, the tbn might have nosedived at a higher rate.
Then we wouldn't know for sure because of certain condition if Amsoil can go 18K as like Mobil 1 had. Either way an interesting test of how synthetic oil on extended OCI.quote:
I don't know about AstroVic's theory, but I can tell you right now that based on the accumulated miles to this point it's not going to hit 18k before the year is up. I'd bet this one ends around 14k just from the time limitation.
