Hi

Ok, let's try some math and see if I can do it without blinking this time….

+/-4 Hz for 6 volts is 0.66 Hz / V
output is 10 MHz so 1 Hz is 0.1 ppm
your OCXO is running at 0.066 ppm / V 
That's also 66 ppb / V

0.02 V at 66 ppb / V is 0.0132 ppb or 13.2 ppt

The UT+ has a sawtooth output that's about 45 ns
That's 45 ppb at one second

5 minutes is 300 seconds

so 45 / 300 = 0.15 ppb or 150 ppt

If it's the later clone version it might be  about 1/2 of that. 

Are you doing sawtooth correction?
