This is my 2nd oil change. I dumped the factory fill at 1500 miles and replaced it with a non Dexos 2 HDEO oil. This is M1 Delvac ESP, previous PAO/Ester based CJ-4 formula.
Oil has 5,000 miles on it. I’m going to shorten my cold start warm up time from 5-10 minutes to 3-5 minutes to try and improve the fuel dilution. This engine only has 6500 miles at the time of this sample, so the rings may not be fully seated as well. I don't know yet.
Sample was collected hot from the drain. For accuracy, I took a composite UO sample, meaning that I filled up a 1 gallon jug, shook it up, then filled the sample bottle.
Also worth noting that for the last 3k miles I've fueled exclusively with HVO from Propel.
What do you guys think ?
