I kept this oil in service for an additional 400 miles and changed it out.

This thing has always been murder on TBN. I could only get 5k out of Schaeffer's under these same conditions. Metals have always been near VOA levels regardless of oil used and despite the fact Dyson's lab sees a broader range of particle sizes.

For this oil/app, with current conditions I'd say 3,500 is a good cap. Maybe you could get to the 4,000-5,000 range if it saw more highway miles/longer trips with less stop 'n go.

Fuel dilution. See what can be done to get that under control.

mobil clean 5000 have 9.0 TBN. It can go 6500 miles easy.. I think he is driving mostly in town and lot of idling..

Mobil says 5K then I would do 5K.

So far nothing has made much of a difference. The fuel is a little lower than the last report however.

Yes. This is my wife's DD and she spends a lot of time in traffic and city driving. Even when she used to travel everyday in her old job and put on 7.5k mi in a couple months 7500 miles was about it This thing is just hard on the TBN.

Also I should have mentioned in my original post this was the 3rd consecutive run of this oil.

If you are referring to the difference in moly levels between this sample and the PQIA data I would suspect it is due to small batch variation and/or lab variation.
Or it could be some of the moly hanging out in my engine from one of the previous two runs decided to go back into suspension, raising the measured level. I would guess the former. Good eye for detail, though!
