Frankenbrew UOA's almost always seem to look good, this one sure does anyway. Nice.
One of my favorite oils.
Just out of curiosity, you are aware that it is rated SL, which is for 2004 and earlier cars? I'd have no problem running it in your car, just wondering.

Probably just getting rid of spare qts.

The QSUD is SN and dilutes it and unless your burning oil its not much to worry as the SN/SL mixture is mostly SN. I worried when running Redline 5w30 but Dave at RL said the zinc and other were only a worry in high consumption vehicles. UOA looks good...I like that Moly/Boron.
Good engine with not problems. IMO, it's a waste of time and money to change out perfectly good oil like this. Should double the OCI.

Yup, my MM was at 15%. Also, my engine also has the VCM which some people have indicated here that its harder on the oil so I was thinking sticking to the MM would be a good idea.

Without a TBN, not sure that's a valid conclusion.
The fact that Blackstone recommends going 2000 miles more on the next OCI usually implies that the TBN was more than adequate. The mixture did well, good post.
