I have data from a LARGE multitude of applications; from gassers, diesels, nat-gas, propane, tractors, trucks, taxis, police cars, grocery-getters, gen-sets, gearboxes, motorcycles, compressors (reciprocating and scroll), transmissions, etc, etc.
Also, please read this. You'll get a much better understanding why I'm so adamant, (or as you call me, "condescending"):

As you can see, it is not an anomaly to find evidence that engines wear less as the OCI is pushed out. Further, there is plenty of evidence that shows it's done on dino fluids, by those who truly understand the whys and wherefores of the real pragmatic use of UOAs. While I didn't put your 4.0L engine in that article, I have the data to support my claims.
My apologies if I angered you; was not my intent. But that does not make me wrong.
