I began doing oil analysis on my Powerboost. I have recently noted that the Boron component of my oil (I use Amsoil) declines with mileage on the oil. So I looked into its effect on engines. This article speaks to that. Apparently it reduces friction yielding better MPG and does seem to reduce some emissions. But it does seem to be consumed with an endpoint of somewhere's around 12-14,000 miles on the oil. Other additives seem to remain fairly stable: Mo, Mn, C, Mg, Ph, & Zn. Total Base Number also declines over that interval. Food for thought.
