What was vehicle mileage at start of each test?
Miles driven per change? Months between change as well?
Avg ambient temp as well as oil temp when driving?
Avg MPG during each test, Mostly to use as an indicator of possible driving style changes
Driving style/condition?
Have you switched back and forth a few times to get repeated results?
Would be interesting to run 0w-20, then 0w-30, then 0w-30 again then back to 0w-20 to try to get 1 “test” per weather season, assuming you do 1 change every 6 months and drive identical mileage per.

I kept the mileage interval the same, between that and seeing a 30% drop in Al, I didn’t need more justification to stick with the 0W30
