Overall I am pleased with this sample. This is the first sample with my bypass on, and seems to have dropped my soot count. Last sample was with Delo 400 15W40 and soot was 16, whereas it is now half that.
My only question is in regards to the secondary numbers like soot and OXI- how are these measured? is it parts per million, or measured differently?
