My first run of this oil. Winter service. Typical commute was 25min, 8-15 miles depending on Job. 1000 miles was longer highway trips, 200+ miles each way. Travelling to girlfriend's Condo once or twice a week, 20 miles one way. Few, if any, cold starts of less than 5 miles. I'd say 60/40 highway/city this interval.
Not for extended drains, by the look of the TBN. I'll probably cap the OCI at 7500 miles with this oil, and my current fill, Shell Syn 5w-20, should driving conditions remain similar.
First column of numbers will be this fill, the second, an analysis of PYB 5w-20, and the last, Blackstone Universal averages. I used ALS tribology (Wix) for this analysis while my first was Blackstone. I'll use ALS for the next few.
Discrepancy in Al is interesting. Can't say I'm worried. But I'll continue with analysis to see if there is a trend. Silicon remains above average. The airbox is a pain to get into, and the filter tends to move around a bit. I have a Puolator in now.
Comments, questions, welcome.
