Zinc is pretty high for SN...

What was in it last time or is that not PYB SN?

It looks like it is within spec to me. This is PYB and I imagine zinc is within a margin of error of 100PPM. This analysis is reading on the high side, but I don't see a resemblance to any other oil I know of.

I agree!

Nevermind... Jeebus this forum has gone downhill. I guess I wasted my money having a real laboratory analyze my oil sample when a couple of guys who can access the internet know much better.

No one said that, but I trust that someone like Pablo can tell by looking at a UOA if a lube has possibly sheared out of grade or not. Blackstone (and every other lab) is run by people, and people can make mistakes. A lab technician is not immune from mistakes.

Then again, we can no longer see the UOA, so we don't really know.
