Build dates are definitely interesting. I don’t think there is an established pattern for RTV. And I don’t think there are enough samples with engines failures to establish a pattern?
Oh there is a pattern. Yes it could be better with more data but still a pattern.

The oil analysis is great but by the time you get the results telling you there is an issue the damage is already going to be done.
Justin's report is almost perfect much the same as all the rest. There is just no evidence at all (at this point) that there is any gradual wear happening.
