Wow. Did you save that oil from the last MTL change? I'd be interested in seeing what it looked like if you were to put it into a clear plastic container with light behind it. An oil test for comparison would also be nice but thats probably asking too much.

Still, you're results with the cocktail are very similar to mine and I ran mine only about 30 days or so. I ran the MTL a year and a half but had less miles on it than you did so maybe not as definitive a result.
