The oil in question is from the original AZ clearance some time ago. This is the second run of this oil. When I drained it, it seemed pretty dark and thick, but it sat for about 45 minutes before the OC. The sample was sucked through the dipstick with the engine hot.
The filter used was an older PL14459.
The driving pattern was mostly commuting 27 miles one way (stop and go traffic and low speed driving in hot weather) with 2150 miles worth of roadtrips.
Top-up oil was 0.5 qt.
For most of the interval, TC-W3 was added to the gas.
Two OCIs ago, I resealed the tensioner cover (Permatex Grey). There was also driving in the dust in Utah involved.
