Yeah that looked good. Plenty of moly left and other add pack stuff. If you would have done a TBN, I'm sure it would have shown this oil to have a couple thousand more miles left. More reason to put the PP 5w30 in my wifes Accord and get some RTS for the WRX

Thanks, I don't know how to interpret the numbers yet. Next time I'll do the TBN .
This Shell rotella just looks a lot more viscous than other oils I've used pouring out of the drain plug. I ran Mobil 1 and Pennzoil 10w30 and they poured like water after a few thousand miles. I wish I did the UOA for those as well just for comparison. |

Nice report! Although, it does look like this new RTS shears a little bit (it's a low 40 grade). That's better than a 30 grade shearing though, IMO.

A 12.45 cSt at 100degF is still a solid 40 wt particularly with 4k miles on it. But yes, I've seen RTS get into the low 11s after 3500-4000 miles. Better than starting with a ~10.5 cSt 5w30 that is in the mid 8s by the end of a modest 3-4k mile OCI (ie M1 and RP ).

I'm trying GC 0w30 now for the winter...I'm debating wether I should get another UOA right away or just wait until next april or so when I'm on my 2nd oil change on GC when at least the ambient temps are similar to what the car saw during this UOA... |
