We examined Blackstones report here with 3 sets of eyes and as expected, it really doesn't show any warning flags. The key items I was looking for are change in flashpoints, Viscosity after 15K although at only "19", the silicone(part of the additive package) is low and won't go much longer & the sodium and Boron are also part of that pkg.
I think, to put a hypothesis as to why this "works" I would guess is rooted in the full-sized oil filter used for this engine. It's capacity has to be the reason there doesn't appear to be massive particulate ie-Iron....but it's only a guess.
From the pics I've seen of those blown gaskets, they appeared to be the red-rubber high-temp o-rings that came out for "high heat situations" but in practice, they become hard & brittle. Are these made of the same stuff?
