We're seeing some excess iron and silicon in this oil, but our suspicion at this point is that they're related to lingering wear-in, and will improve with time. The viscosity was a little light, but that's harmless. The TBN is fine at 4.6. Averages are based on 2000 miles. Try 6,500 miles.

Where do you even buy Xado? I found one questionable site. It does have a nice PDS listing. The price listed is $8.45 a litre? That seems reasonable if it is actually made to the standards of other MA 10w40 4T synthetics like motul, maxima, spectro, or Bel-ray. Keep us updated on the Xado. its an interesting product.
