Pretty consistent results across the board regardless of brand. On a side note, the VRP stayed a 30 grade despite 2.6% fuel dilution. The HPL detergency is very stout.

Na is up in this sample. Not sure what that is about.
 
I noticed there was a coolant leak (reservoir kept getting low even after refelling), so I got it checked out. I had the water pump replaced, and it's been good since. This was a few weeks ago. Could that be the issue? I'm 500 mi into the current OCI, should I get another UOA at 1k?
