Well I called the lab again and they retested the viscosity 2 more times and it came back at 9.4 and 9.3 which is an improvement.

So I wonder if the 6.1 was a typo or the viscometer is having bad hair days?

I get the feeling its a simple key stroke error. If your using the number pad on the key board to enter your digits its easy to slip down to the 6 from 9. The lab does need to double check its data before submitting it as correct however.

We'll get a better idea at 15k miles when I re-sample the same oil in december with 9-10 months of use. My mileage in this car has been down slightly although I still drive the same mileage per year. Two weeks ago I only drive this car 1 day out of the week so 400 miles lost right there.
