05 PRIUS - NAPA Synthetic 5w30 - 9384mi

[Bugzii]

Second UOA report.

Oil: NAPA Synthetic 5w30
Additive: Moly 150mL
Filtration: Oil (9.4k) NAPA Gold (WIX), Air (29k)

Wow, low iron. The only other UOA with that low of an iron value (per mile of course!) is when somebody was using Mobil1 Racing Oil mixed in with mostly M1 AFE 0w30 synthetic. So not bad at all. Of course this is a Toyota engine, so they are almost always impressively low on iron. Wonder if the extra moly helped just a little, since it was more miles run this time and still low iron, even better this time per mile.

I'm surprised myself. When result for the 1st UOA came, I thought Blackstone may have made a mistake with the wear numbers being so low... and the oil was a syn-blend (76 Super Synthetic Blend 5w30 specs: API Service SN, ILSAC GF-5).

That is awesome

How's making Napas full synthetic now?? I know it used to be Ashland. Is this still the case or is it another supplier?

What?

And actually, I remember that "guy" and he was running a 50/50 mix of M1R 0w50 and M1 0w20 AFE.

You got another guy, different mix. My guy ran M1 0w30 AFE, with M1 0w30 Racing, although at times in the past he had mixed Racing with 15w-50. Explained at https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2971429

My reference, jsharp, had great iron results doing that. How did your guy do?

I used 1/2 a bottle of this... and this was the first application.

The bottles I used have "Ashland" printed on the back.
