Thanks Terry, Since your input has been accurate before, I'll take the info you just gave regarding analysys interpretation and technique as accurate also. Regarding the supertech filter, My wife works for Wal-Mart, So the supertechs and the DC is 10% off. I know that the Champs are the best filter for the money out there.

That's why I said "on their own" I don't believe they've completely relinquished control to GM Powertrain but they are definitely not making new engines. BTW, I believe the Supercharged Ecotec used in the Cobalt and Ion uses many of the same internal parts as Saab's turbo 2.0.
Regardless the Ecotec is not the same engine as the Atlas series engines.

Like ToyotaNSaturn, I want to know how the TBN could possibly be 9.8.
More evidence of calibration problems?

In my limited experience, TBN can be severely skewed by even minor coolant leaks. I would expect zero sodium and potassium from MDC.
Perhaps a slight seep and fuel loading caused the irregularities.
Pressure test is irrelevant, imho compared to a uoa. The high TBN should be a clue.
Like Tery said a reagent glycol test is fairly acurrate if they did this.

I might add that they also pressure tested the block and it came back good. I also got them to do a VOA of the bulk GM Goodwrench Oil. I know for a fact that it is Drive Clean, and it's even labeld as such on the barrel. VOA posted for the doubters of the GRP III conspiracy by me
