NICK: Great recovery in lead accumulation! We thought that the high lead discovered last time was due to
something temporary, and the shorter time on the oil went far to bring lead down nicely. This shows that
bearings wore more agreeably on this oil's watch, and that's good. Other metals were low and well
balanced, so no new problems at parts were evident. In fact, nothing unusual was noted among wear metals
this time. Physically, the oil looked great. Insolubles were low, showing limited oil oxidation and no
combustion issues.
