Based upon a recent oil analysis report I sent the following question to Amsoil Technical Services.
"Recent oil analysis indicates a large increase in the ppm for Boron. Looking back upon years of 10W30 usage ATM, I see Boron at always less then 10 ppm whereas now it has gone into the teens and twenties. Have you changed the formulation? If so what amount of Boron is in a virgin sample of 10W30 ATM?
Amsoil Tech Services Response?
"Any element that is tested will fluctuate up or down due to machine sensitivity and calibration, slight changes in additive chemistry, batch number, or reformulation. To find out what the PPM of boron in a virgin sample of the ATM product, I recommend a baseline test of the oil out of a new bottle of the case you purchased.?
Sorry, I do not call this an answer. Almost like on average they have no concept of how much boron goes into a quart of their oil?
Oh well, guess I should have expected this.
