I am sure they see quite a few samples, but not as many as one would think.. I just sent out 14 samples last week to our lab, all but one from an M96 engine.

More than likely the engine did break a rod bolt, or it snapped the crank, something happened quick. Pull a sample from it now and send it in.

The older M1 from around 2009 had more moly in it and zinc, thats why i thought this was a modern sample of Royal Purple, I didn't look at the date.
