The latest UOA for my 2004 Mazda 6i is in. This was the last of my SL-GF3 stash so it's GF4 from here on out. This sample was in from Nov. 2004 until the last couple days in March 2005 which is probably the toughest period in this area where motor oil is concerned.
As usual, plenty of spirited driving but with much more time spent at idle while warming up (car is non-garaged). I also managed a few 3 hour, bumper to bumper 30 mile crawl fests thanks to old man winter and North Jersey rush hour traffic.
This was my first interval using Odis' magic elixir, Lube Control. Standard rate of 1 ounce at initial fill (4.5 qt. sump) then another ounce every 1,000 miles. Also did the usual one bottle Techron fuel treatment a couple of weeks before I changed out the oil. I'm very very happy with how Havoline has performed in my Mazda. Since this is the longest interval I've gone and the numbers are what they are, I must give credit also to Odis and LC. I'm a believer!
Lastly, not sure why Blackstone flagged vis since 52.7 SUS@210 is a SOLID 20w

Here it is..comments, suggestions welcome and appreciated.
