[spyderhead]

Would appreciate your comments on this as this is my first UOA (through Blackstone):
History: car used VW 505.01 oil through first change (always done myself using a Pela extractor pump); 10,000 mile intervals always using after the first change Motul or Elf (both 505.01). Since going out of warranty at 60K, I have used Mobil 1 5W/40 TDT at 10,000 mile intervals. Current sample is at 87,426 miles on engine and 7,426 on current oil:

Looks good.

I guess they are using this additive system in all their oils now. I don't remember if this oil always contained Mg.

Mg was the only thing that was above "universal averages" which was 291. As it is an additive, I guess it does not matter, but the high number puzzled me.
