Many will dispute, and this is not a diss on M1 as it is a fine oil - but I think this consistent use of LC20/Neutra combo has contributed significantly to the Low Iron wear and very High TBN (over 7) for 15k miles
IMHO opinion, even though you started with a fine oil, it can be improved with the right additives.
Just because most oil additives are snake oil, does not mean they all are - kudos to LC and Schaeffer's as well for this superb report.
