High lead is concerning me. Bike is parked for the winter, but I'll put on miles in spring and see what happens with the next UOA. Comments?

I’ve read some of your other posts and you clearly don’t like Blackstone. Was there an issue between you and them?that is a nice report.....if you can trust it.
oh why do i say that?
because with a flash of 385 there is not a snowballs chance in a kiln that fuel % is only a trace. not even with the cheapest of oils
and most certainly not with amsoil mcf.
your report paper is just some extremely harsh toilet paper. send it back to the stoners used as such.
Yes, great report, can't not be pleased!Edit: I am the OP. Had to change my Username though as I could no longer log-in for some reason.
Here is my latest UOA, again using Amsoil MCF 10W-40. I’m quite pleased with this report…
Thanks for your input. I missed a few observations that you pointed out, about the additives. What makes me really start to question this report even more now is that the oil from this recent report came from the same “case” of 12-qt bottles as the previous sample. So one would think the batch/lot # would be the same…Yes, great report, can't not be pleased!
What I notice is the considerably lower zinc and phosphorus numbers and higher boron in this sample compared to the one in January 2019. 2019 sample had an even lower flashpoint yet stayed in grade for more miles, this one had a slightly higher flashpoint (yet still low, per se) and was out of grade.
That would say there's been an obvious additive package change and possibly a base oil change as well?
Fuel dilution goes hand-in-hand with flashpoint. Flashpoint is the real number to pay attention to, I don't pay much attention to the weirdness in fuel dilution with Blackstone. If the flashpoint is low, there's fuel dilution. That's just additional data and information to something already known based on flashpoint.
I don't speak for sunruh, of course, but I know he and I have at least one of the same issues with BSLabs: Their reports are flagrantly wrong or self-contradictory a _lot_ of the time. You just can't rely on their numbers (thus the moniker 'the stoners').
For me, I also find that their commentary is often totally off-base or dead wrong, and they're about the most expensive option available in that category of UOA services.
Lol, that's eye opening... What oil was in before the first Amsoil 10W-40 OCI you posted at the start of this thread? Maybe Redline? I have heard of higher residuals like lead and z/p as it has been said to "leach" out lead and they have a huge amount of z/p in their MC oils.Thanks for your input.
