Previous UOA here. 125133 miles on the engine at the time of sampling.

2x 2-day track events on this oil (NJMP Thunderbolt, intermediate pace, street tires); one event at the beginning of the OCI, and one at the end.

Aluminum is back down to previous levels and all other wear markers remain low, though fuel remains high.

In the pic, fuel dilution in a previous sample is blanked out because it turned out not to be reliable.

3qts makeup oil in 5k is a lot. Leaking, using? How do the plugs look?
Leaking and using. Not sure how much of each. Haven’t seen the plugs in a bit.

Don’t forget there were 4 track days on this oil.
