This is because of the polymers that are found in some oils that are not compliant with other oils. When we sell the new oil, the first order will have a flush fill as well as a service fill...
Not all oils are the same, but I've always gotten better UOA samples in regard to the TAN when I have used a flush fill between changing oil types.

Whoa, Jake. Thanks for the input; please bear with me on questions:
Are you saying the Syntec is from a "different group" than the M1? So a flush would be recommended in this case?
How do you do the flush? What type of mineral oil and where can it be found?
What do you mean when you say "As we work to finish the completion of our oil"?
I know UOA is used oil analysis, but what's the TAN?
Thanks
