There's really no bad news to report for this first sample from your S600's V-12. Metals look great
here compared to universal averages, which are based on an oil run just half as long as your sample. Iron is
exceptional considering the longer-than-average oil run, as usually longer runs leave more iron in the oil.
The viscosity was half a shade low, but that wasn't the result of excessive fuel dilution and it's not hurting
anything, so we wouldn't worry about it too much. No water or insolubles were found, and the TBN was solid
at 3.2. Great engine and great report!

Looks like the M1 0W40 held up well. It was run for exactly 1 year. Currently running M1 0W40 with factory (fleece) filter. Factory air filters as well.
