    Good to see your getting a long service interval on a good synthetic. I compared it to my numbers and the only significant difference was that the AMSOIL 0W-30 had a higher TBN number(4.57).

    Here's my Amsoil SS0 report-





    Blackstone Labs.

    Miles on unit:17k

    Miles on oil:15k

    Make-up oil: .5 quarts.

    Amsoil SS0, Eao filter.


    You've run this oil for about 88% of this young engine's life, and that's the reason that we are still finding high
    iron, copper, and silicon. We normally expect wear-in to be past by the time you get to about 10,000 miles, but when
    you run long oil changes from the start, the process takes longer. You'll get there eventually, though you could speed
    the process along by changing the oil at 7,500 miles next time. Note fuel at 3.0%. This is more than we like to see but
    hopefully it's from rings seating. The TBN read 4.1 showing some active additive left. Check back.
