I don't recall the specifics, just that both were within spec.

The point is - that's not the same (normal) situation as most of our engines operate in.

My engine will pick-up significant amounts of acids, unburned fuel, and moisture that those engine don't. Because those conditions are significantly different from my conditions, the findings don't directly apply.

The info available that applies to normal driving conditions supports that oil's ability to protect an engine degrades significantly with use and increasing contaminants.

As we all know by now, you're not very interested in hearing that...
