Here is the data in graphical format:

I can find no evidence of direct friction reduction of boron CLS (aka., boric acid) without taking extra steps to reduce particle suspension. The boron CLS appears to increase particle suspension and engine friction. |
One additional observation is how the existing gunk in the engine can so quickly reduce the effect of an oil change. In effect, the 25% carry forward and engine pan material quickly brings the new oil to the same friction level as the old, particle loaded oil.
