Thought I'd run it and sample it just for the fun of it. Looks like it changed to a high 20 weight.

Now for the comments.

Thanks.

Pretty good numbers. The TBN at 1.1 is real low for a synthetic at 4000 miles. These motors have a tendency to shear the oil. The fuel dilution didn't help those numbers either.

That's TAN not TBN. Acid vs Base. Looks like plenty of life left if the visc. doesn't bother you. Though a TBN # would be nice. It's probably as thin as it's going to get.

Yep. Bottle sez SM/CF; ILSAC GF-4; ACEA A3.

Its a pretty weak oil. I'd spring a few cents for something better. Good results, but no thanks to the oil. (IMHO)

Is this the stufff that'a supposed to meet an ACEA A3 rating?
