Lots of interesting info. I'm really just going off of the general consensus in that particular analysis. It seemed overall to be pretty good.

I'm not versed in analyzing the numbers (results) so I really don't know at this point what the heck I'm looking at.

I think what would really be a good comparison is to do the same test on the same truck with the same miles with another oil say M1 to get a more accurate comparison to another oil.
