    Mobil 1 0W-20 oil, TRD synthetic oil filter. I goofed and left off the total miles, and there was no oil added. The tests at 15K and 25K were based on samples taken thru the dipstick tube & weren't full oil changes. I've posted the earlier samples on this site previously.

    Did you change which oil you were using on the last change? The Mg is several times higher and the Ca, Zn and P lower on the last change.

    Always Mobil 1 0W20. That change in Mg is interesting. I'll send a question to Blackstone about why it may have changed so much.

    Update: Blackstone labs said that Mobil 1 has been recently reformulated, and they've added more Mg. I have a bunch of Mobil 1 0W-20 from past springtime sales, and I may have used some of the newer stock than the older stuff. So it goes.
