I hope this is another boring report, with TBN this time.
There aren't too many engines like that here on this board, so I decided to see if I can go the normal OCI that I used to in Europe. I think I can.
Sump capacity is less then 4qts. No make-up oil and no oil burning/usage.
GC was the mix of '03 & '04 batches, two bottles of each.
6oz of LC at the beginning, 1oz every 1000miles, 12oz in total. FP at prescribed rate in every tank.
The oil had stayed in the sump from Feb 26 to June 18. I drive about 75% highway at the speed limit, I'm pretty light on the throttle. Amsoil filter (SDF-10, very small). Stock paper air filter has been changed in the middle of the interval.
This oil has seen some serious cold, as well as some extreame heat.
Previous results are for the baseline purposes.
- I'm not sure whether the oil sheared, or was it LC dillution?
- Where did Boron & Phosphorus go? Normal additive wear-out?
- Is this a normal number for Copper?
After this run I put M1 SS 5w-30 and I'd like to run it for three intervals (with LC), then sample. This should tell me what to do with my M1 & GC stashes
Engine already seems rougher at idle on M1.
If GC ended up with 11.6 viscosity with LC, I wonder what happens to M1 then. We'll see.

I guess there are few items to mention:
- I'm not sure whether the oil sheared, or was it LC dillution?
- Where did Boron & Phosphorus go? Normal additive wear-out?
- Is this a normal number for Copper?
