I live really, really close to work and most of my errands are close by. This may be somewhat offset by how hot its been this summer and a few longer trips so the UOA will be interesting...
Holy Calicum Batman. No SN Plus for you!
SN can suck it
Look at the zinc, phosphorus, boron and calcium. With a NOACK of 6% and HTHS of 3.7 it looks like a very stout Euro oil with good cleaning ability to me.
Cat killing , Warranty Voiding "Honey from Heaven".
Bet it would make a nice amendment additive with certain oils.

I'm also running an oil catch can, have been since around 1,500 miles or so.

Supposedly high levels of ZDDP(phosphorus and zinc) oil vapor can plate the cats just like it plates wear surfaces inside of an engine.

I've used this oil in 3 different cars and put over 100k on each without a problem... of course, none of those cars burned oil either
What's with the silicon? 50ppm? I would ask them to check again.

According to this paper I saw a while back the mechanism is more complicated, it is the phosphorus attacking the oxides rather than the precious metals:

I just called. The lab thought it was a little unusual as well and re-ran the test and got the same results.

I believe so. Too much ZDP too, although the NOACK is low.
It is my understanding that raising ZDDP and magnesium help prevent LSPI.
