Silicon up a bit since previous test. Fuel is there & visc is still reasonable. 1/2 qt of added oil is great for 7.5k. Quite a chunk of Magnesium & Moly in this HPL 5w-40. Not a bad run but double check the air filter box unless this is an anti-foam HPL additive? 2 more PPM on the silicon & it would have been triggered. Thanks for sharing!

Si is the impact of the HPL. Has ~10 ppm virgin at least in the Euro oil.

Fuel is quite pronounced with a 345 Flashpoint and 2% in any BS UOA.

If that's the case then there is nothing to be concerned about on the silicon. That would put this run at 18 otherwise & would've been rite inline with the other results.

Precisely. Fuel dilution is the only concern.

There's a lot more fuel in there than what BS is claiming.
