Yes I have , but the results do not make sense , I use only about 6-8 gals. , 3-4 times , running about 10-20% WMO to 80-90% #2 .
And this is WMO that went through a dual by pass filter system into a bulk storage , 55 gal. drum , then 4-6 hrs. through a centrifuge , then into tank .

Some how the 1st posting was just the wrong file , the 2nd some how is a over size scan of the report , do not know how to reduce , it will not load as is .
If you need some questions answered , let me know .

The PDF you posted is not of your oil report.

John at the $ amounts that I save I could care less if I only got 3 years out of the motor since its paid back in far less time after that its all gravy, at just 50% which was my wiinter blend in my ferd IDI. At just 40k miles I save $3,500 which is way more than an IP & nozzels cost plus I'm sure that I can also include a preformance rebuild for not much more. At 75% the savings are over $6,000 , so pick your blend ratio higher more savings & less life on the pump & nozzels - lower for a longer pay back. Your choice.

I am mostly looking to see if the wear metals are high. This would be mostly iron , lead, copper. I do regular oil analysis on mine, and have run about 20 gallons so far about 10% mix. However my last oil sample showed greatly higher lead, and iron was a bit higher. So I am thinking that wmo may be raising it. I have changed the oil and not burned any wmo, resampled and it shows normal, except slighty higher lead, but noware near the previous level. If the truck was high milage and falling apart I would not be to concerned, however with low milage, and hoping to keep it for many years I don't want to trash it. If I can run wmo and not harm it then great, sure could use the savings.

What I'm saying is if the savings are high enough then I don't care how much wear since the savings more than pay for any repairs. And according to my experience they most definitely do by far.
