Overall, looks good other than fuel dilution increased, but viscosity was in spec so I'm not too concerned. More short trips on this oil for sure though. If you notice, I ran my K&P "35 micron absolute" reusable stainless mesh oil filter this time around. I requested a particle count but Horizon claims they can't do them on used engine oil. 🤬 They say the laser can't accurately measure the particles in used engine oil and that the test is designed for hydraulic fluid. I replaced the filter with a Fram Ultra this time around and Mobil ESP 0W-30 as I'm out of Schaeffer oil and the Mobil was way easier to get and way cheaper. Could be the placebo effect but the engine seems smoother running the 0W-30 ESP and no drop in MPGs whatsoever. I'm really bummed that I couldn't get a particle count done on this K&P reusable oil filter. I think it did well, but who knows for sure? 🤷‍♂️ There was hardly anything on the strong magnet in the K&P. Just a smudge on my finger when I ran it across. Titanium is confirmed by Schaeffer to be an additive in their "old formula" 0W-20 that I ran. All in all no complaints! I'll probably start using the K&P oil filter again once my supply of Fram Ultra and Titaniums are depleted.

I just looked at my records. I last changed my oil on Feb 5th and have 13,850 miles on the car. LOL I only have about 2,100 miles on the oil but my 3 months are up and I want to run my current tank of fuel low seeing I have Redline SI-1 in it.

I run the same additive in my Subie, RV and boat. Great stuff. Get a case of it at a time on Amazon.🤙
