For some reason you had higher fuel% when you ran it last time, probably making for slightly higher wear numbers.

I've got a sample of 5w20 in to the lab for analysis for my FIL's van and I will have one from my van for 0w30 shortly as well.

With UOAs like this it’s hard to say it’s as horrible as everyone tries to make it out to be.

Haven’t checked the oil in a while.
