As posted earlier, I’ve used a quart of MMO for years now just before the oil change. I drain a quart and replace it with a quart of MMO, Drive for 500 miles and change the oil. I change oil every 3000 miles. Just got my latest Blackstone analysis and it said, “Your Boxster is producing some great wear trends. Once iron settled down after the early analysis, metals have been low and quite consistent, and that’s a healthy trend. Silicon is staying low for the fourth repot in a row. The thin viscosity persists, but given these great wear trends, the engine certainly isn’t bothered by it. No water, coolant or fuel present. And insolvables at 0.1 show oil filtration is working well.”

Viscosity is at 64.2 vs range of 65 - 78. All I know is that my lifter tick went away and never returned using this process and that was years ago. Is it the MMO? My vote is the frequent oil changes but I give a definite nod to MMO.
