The zinc seems high though. Either this was reformulated from the last uoa that I saw on AZP Installs web site, or Blackstone's numbers are off (Blackstone's zinc is usually lower). Any idea how old the oil is? X-clean C3 5W-30 is mid-SAPS according to Motul.com and the zinc seems too high for mid-SAPS.

I sent the sample the day after it was pulled (by AZP Installs). USPS then lost it for 20 or so days before finally delivering it to Blackstone.
Never mind, I'm an idiot....you were asking about the age of the bottles of oil used, not the age of the sample. I'm not sure. You should ask Mike (from AZP) about his Motul turnover and when he last ordered.
