This is my second UOA for my Outlook 3.6DI, this is a 3rd consecutive run of M1 with no towing on this oil or excess idling. This run saw much more highway miles than last UOA with a 1600KM (1000 Mile) round trip to Mont Sainte Anne, Quebec.
Fuel may have been a tad higher because of short trips just prior to taking in for oil change (no time for a warmup highway run).
Your comments or thoughts would be appreciated. Link to thread for my first UOA is here.
EDIT: Before anyone skewers me
for "dumping quality synth at low OCI interval"... My app is a DI with a mix of short driving, Canadian winters and some camping season towing. I'll stretch out the OCI with whatever oil that clears those hurdles backed by UOA. I gave M1 a try and seems okay for spring/summer driving but it doesn't look so promising for my app in Winter. I'm giving Edge a try in the mill (will do 2 runs with UOA & TBN).
