2010 Jeep Commander 5.7Hemi 5900mi on Redline 5w30

[drfeelgood]

So this is the second UOA on the Commander. Posted the first back in Jan 2020(Sorry, don't know how to link to a prior thread). Overall, I think this is the 4th Redline fill. Certainly some findings not as good as the previous. Could the fact that I sampled this Sept 12 and just now got results have any bearing? This was to the ALS lab that has recently moved, so that may explain some of delay.
Jeep runs well and I used a Wix XP filter for this drain period. As I previously noted, mainly tried this to quiet the "Hemi tick". Comments welcome and sorry if it posts sideways again

Ahhh Red Line....the mystery continues. I have no answers. Results are ok. Viscosity increased in just 6k miles. You could do as good or better on another brand here.

Low TBN for 6K OCI. Also, Cu and Pb increased?

What are you using for an air filter? Silicon seems high.

Thanks for righting the image! I have been running an aFE dry filter on their intake system. I know Redline uses silicon as an antifoaming agent but don't know if the levels should be quite this high

Ahhh, forgot about that, you are quite right, though the amount used seems to vary significantly VOA to VOA.
Here's a VOA of their 0w-30, which shows it at a level closer to yours:

Red Line 0w-30 VOA

Submitted a VOA of Red Line 0w-30 using NAPA's kit, which seems to use ALS Labs for the actual analysis. The report say 10w-30 but was indeed 0w-30 purchased in Jan 2018. Adding link to the UOA of the same oil: https://www.bobistheoilguy.com/foru...-line-0w-30-9-478-miles-2008-lexus-gx470

Whereas this 5w-40 VOA has it at 8ppm:

Redline 5w40 VOA

This VOA of 5w-30 shows it at 50ppm:

Redline 5W-30 VOA

Sampling for a baseline to use for the 2018 Civic SI Coupe

Sodium is significantly lower than yours in all of them, so that's interesting.

And no problem about the pic post, figured it would help.

Viscosity at 100c is 13.7 cSt for a 5w30?

Yeah, Redline oils are very heavy for the grade.
