Current fill is same but additives cut in half. Using the pint sized Purolator+ oil filter as well. Will be using Fuel Power on gas instead of #131 this time.Most likely do the same OCI again.

Overall, report seems good and motor seems to like this oil. Only disappointment is the low flash. Dunno where the potassium reading is coming from. Waiting on Terry's read.

As always, comments are appreciated.
 
From an amateur's point of view, everthing looks like it's headed in the right direction except for maybe the Na and K. I'm suprised that all that LC doesn't lower insolubles more, but than again you have a little fuel dilution. ECM is probably detecting a slight heat condition and compensating with richer mixture. That also might explain the Na and K. However, listen to the professional advice you paid for, you're in good hands.
 
Good report!
I truly believe you would benefit from some Schaeffer's #132 at 1oz/qt. I have used it and still use and it is an excellent match for Mobil 1 oil. I believe it lowers wear considerably.
 
ca and flash look low for m1
