[QUOTE="UnleashedBeast, post: 12626788, member: 112023"] Here is the lastest sample of Amsoil AMO 10W-40 from a 2012 Boss 302 Roadrunner. [ATTACH=full]416287[/ATTACH] First and foremost, this is yet another STUPID lab technician. How can you mark oxidation of a true synthetic lubricant as severe (@ 60) when the lubricant in virgin condition starts at 50-55 because the machine is calibrated to measure petroleum. DEE DEE DEE!!!! Red Line, due to high ester content, will show over 100 with only 5,000 miles on it. Is it because it's a poor lubricant, not in the least. It's because the lab techs do not have a virgin sample of the oil being tested to calibrate the machine before testing. They leave it adjusted to "petroleum" calibration. :rolleyes: Anyway, your wear metals look very nice considering this engine is still wearing in. TBN is still super strong, as this oil is more than suitable for continued use. Do not listen to the idiot telling you to change it due to poor TBN testing methods. For the record, here is a sample of Red Line at only 1400 miles. Oxidation is 105! Scary isn't it, however...not accurate. Red Line's high ester content confuses the machine and makes it believe it is seeing molecular break down because it wasn't calibrated with a virgin sample. The high lead ppm is due to a lubricant too viscous for the engine. Do you see why I said NO 5W-50 in a Ford modular engine? [ATTACH=full]416288[/ATTACH] Bottom line, IGNORE TBN testing on all true synthetics. This is a petroleum ruled world. Thank you for the sample, it looks amazing for such low miles. Don't waste the oil, run it for the year. I will add this to the list very soon. [/QUOTE]
