Thanks, good data. Looks like I'm being short changed on Zn. Your Zn level is double mine and were using the same brand/grade of oil. Mobil 1 gets the big thumbs down from me. I dont think that variability is acceptable at $20/L. Pleased I changed brand but need more data to know if its the right choice.
