Soot 0.9%
Viscosity 100C 15.6............23.57................32.22...................12.57
Viscosity has varied greatly over the last year. Potassium was trending up then dropped off suddenly. Could it be the oil or calibration at specific testing facility? The iron is still reading high so I suppose this is just something I will have to live with. Curious as to other thoughts/opinions.
