I am by the book with constantly varying RPM and not over 5K till 1.2 K miles. What is "BITOG" please?[/QUOTE] BITOG = Bob Is The Oil Guy http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/. There's a subforum devoted to oil analysis reports. I think there's something like 45,000+ members on the forum from all over the world. They range from folks like the guy who disdains uoa's in favor of tasting a sample of oil from his car's dipstick to know when to change it - - like a sommelier sipping from his tastevin. At the other end of the spectrum there are several very knowledgeable people who actually make their living with oil companies as chemists, tribologists, and lubrication engineers. One of the latter is Doug Hillary. He's retired now but he spent decades in Europe working for Castrol and Exxon/Mobil, and in that capacity has teamed with engineers from BMW, Porsche, and Mercedes in developing their lubrication programs. He's seen it and done it all. He doesn't post as often as he used to, but he still seems to monitor the forum. If you post your uoa, ask him to comment. Others with similar creds are Jim Allen, Tom NJ, and Molakule
