I forgot to add that I have a K&N air filter installed.
There's wear metals it seems as it's a new engine. But overall I'm relieved that there was no fuel dilution to speak of despite winter to summer (early December to late June) driving in the Pacific Northwest (Metro Vancouver) and 20 minute city driving. TBN for the PUP was getting low at 3.2 (VOA for PUP 5W-30 is 8.5). According to Blackstone, extending to 10,000 km is achievable on PUP.
I currently have 5W-20 PP (non-PUP). The VOA for the PP version has a TBN of 7.0. On the PP my car is on currently, however, I believe I should not go beyond 8000 km.
