Fuel soot zero /47 / 33
%Oxid 17% / 22% / 11%
%Nox 7.50% / 35% / 20.5%

Antifreeze neg / neg / neg
Starting Vis 14 to 16
Vis@100 13.8 / 15.0 / 14.9
makeup 0 / Oz / Oz
additives none -none - Lube control
fuel treat SoyShield -SoyShield - Soyshield & FP
Filters air/oil oem -oem - OEM
Note: All the make-up was Lube Control 5 oz initial application 2k into this run then one oz per thousand with two intervals missed, fuel additives were three Ozs soyshield per four gallons and One Oz FP per tank full. Two tanks were Power Service winterizer only due to expected cold weather.
Modifications: EGR adjustment and CCV oil separator added 8000 miles into the period.
Many said I was crazy to trust my new ride to a synthetic blend. Not too shabby for a $12.00 a gallon oil.
Comments or observations?
