This engine has never had any work on it and I do all the servicing including oil changes. I phoned Metro Tech Systems in Calgary about the moly as there is none in the virgin sample...they could not tell me where it is comming from. They did say their testing is done in accordance with ASTM...
Yes, this is Motormaster diesel oil, purchased at Cdn Tire last year. I never noticed the "SH" until now. No engine work, I am light footed, and will not be attempting any more extended oil changes. The silicon level is disappointing to me.
Here is my second UOA on this vehicle. The first number is the used oil, the second is the virgin sample. I am at at a loss to understand why my silicon is so high. My first UOA had 42ppm for 6,100 miles and this one is 34ppm in only 2,628 miles. The virgin sample has 7ppm silicon. All sampling...
I have a 1998 Crown Vic with the 4.6 and approximately 51,000 miles on it. I have changed the transmission fluid twice and one gas filter. No other service work except oil canges. It still has the original brake pads which I will check for wear this spring. A great highway car and lots of...
Yes, Edmonton, Alberta. I am retired and the car is used for short trips within the city. Considering the car was used through all four seasons, perhaps the UOA isn't that bad.
Never heard of them. Will use them for my next analysis. At this oil change I put in Mobil 1 and an Amsoil air filter to see if any differences show up. Thanks.
The car has had excellent maintenance in the past, oil changes every 3,000 to 5,000 miles and synthetic oil. My next run is Mobil 1 synthetic, a Super Tech oil filter and an Amsoil air filter. I will do oil analysis at about 5000 miles to see if there will be any difference. I will check for air...
52,807 miles on vehicle, 6100 miles on this oil (Oct/04 - Dec/05). This oil is combination of M0304 and M02. Maybe that explains why the used oil sample has higher additives than the virgin sample wich is M0304. I am now out of M02 and could not get any analyzed. The oil filter is a Ford Long...
I changed the oil and will start with a new oil again on July 1. I can continue with GC or I have some Shell Rotell SB -pao synthetic but this is a 0w-40 oil and I may lose some mileage.
Original engine. The car previously belonged to my Aunt who lived in Kelowna, British Columbia. Due to her health the car was seldom used. I received the car two years ago with 30,000 miles on it. I use it as my "running around car".
