We do not know if the 1.5 gals topup has been factored in to the UOA result. It is not mentioned in the Lab. report! However, these engines wear well on almost any suitable lubricant!

Actually we used 2 gallons per 200 hours with dino and before I used the Auto RX...

W wjdell Joined Feb 3, 2007 Messages 145 Location Florida Oct 20, 2008 #33 Even if you factor in the large sump and the make up oil this uoa is comparable to my VW having a TWM "total wear metals" count of 33 ppm in 23400 miles. Thats wear of 1.4 ppm TWM per 1000 miles of use. You may die before the engine does.
