Your analysis doesn't go into very good detail in my opinion. I would recommend using Blackstone for your next sample. Here's what my last Blackstone report looked like.

No I've never tried Mobil One. To make a long story short, I switched from Liquid Moly to Ravenol for 2-3 oil changes. After looking at the analysis, Liquid Moly out performed Ravenol so I switched back.

Nice I'm glad you found a better oil. I'm using the Mobil 1 Ow40 European car formula because I get it when its on sale at Costco for $4.60 a quart. My blackstone report was good for the BMW oil 0w30 I just switched to the little thicker 0w40 and will send sample in once my put 5 thousand miles on it.

Yes according to your green check mark under oil condition and the diagnosis/action saying the viscosity is in grade and wear metals are at satisfactory levels.
