This was my first run of the CJ-4 spec lube, it appears the only real differences are the added magnesium, boron, and moly. Then decreases in phosphorus, zinc, and calcium, typical for CJ-4 speced lube.
Wear wise there doesn't seem to be hardly any real differences between this report and the last 7 or 8 reports, FE went from 11 to 16 and I really don't see that as an issue.
