delvac 1 full synth Used Oil Analysis in 1983 300D-turbo

Hi,

Here is an analysis of Mobil Delvac 1 (from the local Caterpilliar dealer). Second oil change with the D1 full synthetic. 200700 miles on the car, oil changed at 3638 mi on the oil, Mann filter used. Analysis done by Wear-check USA, the analyzer flagged it for abnormal Viscosity (KV@100C=14.77), although the delvac 1 spec sheet says that viscosity at 100C should be around 15 cSt, so I think that they must have thought it was an xw-30 oil or something (they also had it listed as a gasoline vehicle). All in all I think it was a pretty good UOA.
Here are the results:
