Default 5w30

Oil test result using 5w30 for the past 2 oil changes, wear metal looks good, not sure where the higher than normal water content is from, oil was taken after a spirited drive. Also not sure why the base number is so low, maybe i need to submit a fresh oil sample for them to compare against?

2015 v8
~3000miles over ~6 winter months, varied driving conditions but nothing extreme like short trips or track events.

liqui moly molygen 5w30

2 bottles of liqui moly MoS2 added (i have later found this combination is overkill on the moly and is not recommended by liqui moly, i have changed the additive to their ceratec for the current oil change)

I'm not an expert, but I suspect the increased wear came from the friction modifiers. Generally as friction goes down, wear increases.

Personally I'd never run pour in oil additives because you can buy a quality oil with the viscosity and additive package you are searching for.
