Mileage at the time of sample 16,986.Car was operated as before, multiple redline runs per week, speeds up to 140mph, typical commute is 25 miles and takes 20-30 minutes. MPG was between 23-28. I have M1 5w40 Truck and Turbo Diesel in now. The car was a little rougher than anything before on the M1, but turbo engagement and power appeared to be unchanged. MPG was down briefly too. The car smoothed out after about 800 miles on this oil and MPG has retruned to previous figures. I would like to note that the new Shell V Power with Nitrogen had smoothed the engine down quite a bit prior to the M1 install and MPG went up about 8%.

Enjoy all

What was the VOA on Bruce's stuff? I did not find one in the VOA section under your user name. I didn't go back past 5 pages.

Typo, sorry. I have a VOA and will post soon as I get it out of the file.
