All I can say is you Napa Synthetic lovers, especially you 5W30 guys might want to go ahead and buy a few cases after you see my Oil Analysis. Again posting Friday. I have to copy and send to email so you can see the true report and not something I typed out.

I know but i'm sitting in the car while my 3 year old sleeps and I don't feel like making a rough excel spreadsheet of it, plus we are going to the park and play. I will have it on around 8:00 a.m Friday maybe in a tad bit earlier. TBN was a 3 and wear metals were very good. Copper was 24 on 10W30 Napa Syn, down on this report to 14, I have oil cooler, some leaching occuring. All other wear metals good. Iron 7, Aluminum 6, Copper 12. Last report with Napa Syn 10W30: Iron 6, Aluminum 2, Copper 24 that was for 6,000 miles. Plus this oil took more extremes than prior UOA. Lot more idling as I wait for my Wife in stores trying not to freeze to death. Got stuck once real good, may have revved engine a few time trying to get unstuck, LOL!.More cold starts compared to prior UOA. Lots of mornings and days at 17 to 28 degrees out, that is not like Artic weather, but more than I have experienced in Toledo Ohio. So i'm pretty happy with this UOA.

If you type out the report, future generations will be able to view it as well. It can be a pain when looking at older UOA and the images have gone away.

Oh I'm loading up lets say I have 1 case of 10W30 left and 3 cases coming near my garage soon. That should hold me off until the next sale. I'm buying 5W30 though, like it a little bit better for all season use, seems little more robust than the 10W30. I posted my UOA. I just typed it.
