This is the new formulation (or at least a modified additive package) of QSGB. This was my third oci with the green bottle. I knew something was different from the first two oci's of use and recently posted a new VOA of QSGB. This most recent report and the far right column are both winter oci's. I very much prefer the old formulation.
2011 Ford Taurus sel 3.5L V6
55,998 miles on engine
5,504 on oil
No highways, no city driving...just rural back roads (many of them dirt)
QSGB 5W20 / MC FL500S (all 3 oci's)
NAPA Gold air filter went in September 2015. I expect silicon to trend down from here. No makeup oil as it always stays full.
