Just another M1 EP UOA.

The numbers definitely look good. You could have easily gone double those miles on that oil.
Why bother ? Boring...
Nice post, but a waste of UOA money. Do it again when you exceed the rated mileage on the oil, probably with a Fram Ultra
Did you even hit the factory recommended OCI? I would not have used M-1 for 4600 miles.

No. Ive been doing oil change on this SUV since day 1. Recently it smelled pretty strong fuel smell, this is why i changed oil and got UOA.

Just want to see something besides the norm . Like SubieRubyRoo's PUP 0w20 or 5w20 forget which, a few months back. 17k plus and no makeup, if memory serves. Good quality oil run long and driven hard. I know, this guy's still under warranty.
Next time put on a Fram Ultra filter and try going 7500-10K OCI

Even with it shearing down, it's still showing decent wear numbers. So what exactly will switching to a different oil accomplish here?
UOA doesn't show deposits either. What will it accomplish? Longer runs with an oil that actually wont break down, can handle heat without evaporating off and gunking up the emissions system. Lower friction, less wear, better protection, less deposits, better mpg, cooloer running, longer engine life.

What? Im so tired of this "real synthetic" argument. So to you Grp IV is the only real synthetic? I have yet to see many engines having any issues because of oil. Useless argument. Longer engine life? For what? So the scrapyard can sell it?! Lol

Yes, longer engine life while you own it. Means less wear while you own it. Less wear translates into more power and efficiency albeit minute. I'll take it.
With modern group III/+ base oils approaching and matching in some instances that of PAO performance, I'm really not sure your argument holds much water. It's not 1995 anymore. And there is no conclusive proof that "real synthetics" reduce wear anymore than a properly formulated Group III. Are we just going to forget about additives🤔
