Approx 1,700 miles on the oil.
Virgin KV100 spec for this oil is 13.1. Last o/c a year ago the KV100 was a little concerning at 11.43.
This one is a a surprise how little the KV100 degraded. Same oil, about the same mileage. I tried to not short trip as much, often taking the long way home from my usual stops. Still, 11.43 last year vs 13.0 now?
Makes me wonder about the accuracy of these analysis. This was a NAPA analysis, prior one was Blackstone. I used NAPA this time simply to try a different lab.
The only other thing that stuck out was the relatively high magnesium. The block on this car are a magnesium alloy with I believe no cylinder liner.
