Nice run. The oil is done as it's thickening. Maybe 10,000 next time. Alu is a little high.

Looks like another Honda that can go 300K without breaking a sweat.

I think that's a good run for cheap oil!

So much for WPP oils not being capable of extended drains

Good post - nice to see some SuperTech results. Was there any make up oil added during the run?

You mean oil with no advertising budget of 30% of revenue?

Oil thickens .... but good metal wear rates at 12K miles.

12,010 miles is a great run regardless of oil used.

Yup!

I can't see spending more for oil than what ST costs.

Yea, not bad. This was from the $8 5qt jugs from WM online a few months back. I think I bought 6 jugs on the deal. I did add a half quart at about 9k.

Al and si a little high, what air filter are you using? Is it and the seals in good condition? Change interval?

Air filter has a good seal and was just replaced last year.

Real nice report ... and a big help to others, thanks for posting the UOA.

Super Tech is as good as many oils, all oils are cheap, the only thing that makes them way more expensive is marketing and lower production runs, etc.
