How many miles ago do you suppose the Super Tech oil filter went into permanent bypass?
Or maybe the potassium isn't zero and the lab omitted it.
I'd double check with the lab, if it were me.
Anyway you slice it, not good.

The air filter was original,so after 80k that thing looked like a chimney sweep used it for a rag!
