That and the fact that this thread would warn that levels often change rapidly from published values caused me the concern.
Perhaps it is not worth worrying about the past, but I can't help it.

Hi Bob,
Without a doubt, you
are doing the right thing using B-P in your Carrera. Change it frequently and that engine can outlast you,.....
Mobil has changed the formula on their 15w-50 product quite a few times over the past 4 years and that is whats really unsettling, especially with their reticence about the changes and current ZDDP content. I've simply lost confidence in that product and no longer recommend nor use it.
