Gang,
I received the UOA for the engine, front differential, and rear differential today. Contrary to what I "felt" about the engine oil and the possibility of gas in the oil. None was found; here is the post I had about it--> Post about gas in oil
The oil was the factory fill which is Kawasaki 10w-40. Although Blackstone states that it had a decent additive pack, did the oil not shear down to something less than 10w-40? Also, I thought the TBN was low for only 10 hours/45 miles. I filled it with Kawasaki oil again, (it now has 14 hours and 75 miles on it), but the next fill will be Rotella.
Please give me your thoughts about the possible shearing (or anything else that you see).
