I think you got it right there. If you changed this oil yourself and it had 8% fuel, you would have noticed it.

Cant seem to find this stuff in the us. Only place I can get it is from ebay and its coming from Poland.

Yeah it is difficult to get in Australia as well  most places it's special orderÂ

Something isn't right with that UOA. TBn 16.3? And 8% fuel?

 

[mitchellp]

Yes this type of oil has a very high TBN look at the virgin oil analysis on page 2  Virgin oil is  16.7 TBN . And as for the fuel dilution %  there is no way that  it is 8%  Must be a typo or some sort of mistake in the report and  Viscosity has only dropped Around 4% which is nothing really  if there was that much fuel in the oil the drop would be much moreÂ

Yes - those figures unfortunately cast doubt over the whole UOA.

The TBN of 16.3 is unsurprising after such a short interval.
