Time for the annual report on my grocery getter. Back in 2017 when I started getting UOAs there was abnormally high iron levels. Since then they have reduced to an appropriate amount. I never had an explanation, I always add about 100ml of Hyper-Lube Zinc replacement since 2018 onwards based on Molakules reccomendation. Car is tuned for flex-fuel E85 now and sees about 30% of kms on ethanol which results in a good boost in power and PSI. Always use 40 weight, but pretty much a different brand every year (I noted them at the bottom of the columns).

Very interesting.

From first view without knowking your case, I'd say three options:
- different driving conditions pre2019-post2019
- natural break-in engine
- your engine prefer 0w40 general lubricity
