As promised, 10K of mainly short trips on the wife's xB, though usually warmed up. Think I'm sticking with 10K, fuel dilution & Si are a little higher than I'd like to see, and it did shear some too, originally 10.5 @ 100C, although still within 30 weight spec at 9.5 (barely). Better than the 0W30 AFE was.

Si, fuel, & TBN all flagged as slightly abnormal. Need to figure how to edit/post PDFs, sorry.

Approximately a year, she's driving it more now than she used to, used to only put 5K/year on it, now about 10-11K. Last UOA on this car was 0W30 AFE two oil changes ago, sheared it hard into 20 weight territory & dropped the TBN to nearly 1 in only 7K.

Looks good for 10k of short trips in a location that gets somewhat cold. Any make up oil added? Was the level lower than full at time of OCI?

Excellent - thanks for posting.
