I highly recommend finding some time and going onto Bobistheoilguy and read some of the stuff there. Lots of people have done UOA on some of the more common brands and grades of oil and some of the people there are current/former employees from certain oil companies. I can't remember who is who off the top of my head, but LT is bang on about "Johnny" being a retired Shell person. And if you go there, you might see LiquidTurbo trolling there. =)
LT, there was some advancement on the S2k TCT and M1 issues. Gotta dig up the thread, but IIRC, there is some belief that the M1 lubricated too well which caused the TCT to fail. =P
I still have my UOA kit but have been too lazy to record any of my data to send off to get the oil analysed. I think I add about 1L of oil every 2500 km's. Might be a bit more than that.
