Look at that "paltry" additive pack the and excellent results. FUCHS always amazes me.

I wonder about zink-free additivies, but no additional information ...

Looks good.
The ester based Fuchs shows zero viscosity loss.
8,500 miles is about it for for the way the car is operated.

I have another jug of this same FUCHS but for this run I have gone with SUSTINA 5W30. I will run it for a similar OCI as the FUCHS experienced and then do a UOA.

Thanx for sharing, looks pretty descent, especially considering the use and OCI!

Look forward to the next one!

This posted OCI was the longest in both time and mileage this car has ever experienced. Gas mileage was superb during these 10 months.(FWIW this 05 1ZZFE engine was spec'd for 5W30).
