'07 Element K24 QSUD 0W20 8,189mi (-1,601 OLM)

[EdwardC]

My second UOA for this vehicle. QSUD 0W20 for 8,189mi, 1,601mi 0% on the MM. M1 0W20 EP went in (due to the rebate). OEM Honda A01 filter was removed and same was put in. I've been running 2 filters per OCI and will continue to.

Oil filter posted here: Oil Filter Cut Open

I notice that the viscosity seems a little high according compared to PQIA testing. Could that be thickening due to oxidation?

Looks good! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for looking! One edit I missed, in the first line, I meant to say, "1,601mi past 0% on the MM".

Wear metals look good as does TBN in both UOAs.
It does looks as though the QSUD has thickened alarmingly.
OTOH, the M1 sheared.

Moly levels are completely off, maybe run QSUD instead of M1????
