The latest from my Ninja. I didn't get to ride much the last 2 years. Bad weather then I broke my leg early last spring which cut into my fun this summer. Not sure there's much to look at here. The MCF holds it's viscosity in this bike. Fuel has always been high. The fuel map is way rich in...

Thanks for the discussion on the oxidation. My thoughts are similar to some mentioned. I don't think the number is necessarily cause for any concern. The car has 5W-30 in it now from the GM dealer. We think it's a Mobil oil and that it meets GM Dexos specs. But we're not sure since they buy it...

Originally Posted By: dmiko Impressive. How long in months was the last run? VQ35DE are considered "hard on oil" and the longest I ran in my G35 was 6.1K with QSUD 5w30, whereupon the chain started to rattle on startup. Never had this problem since. Need to try to run M1 longer than 6K. About...

Originally Posted By: bigt61 Wear #'s all look good other than lead, but maybe that's in the normal range for this high mileage motor. What did you use for the refill? My son works at a GM dealership and they sell what he believes to be a synthetic blend 5W-30 that meets the Dexos specs. I had...

Last UOA from my G35. Previous UOA's are Mobil 1 5W-30 and Mobil 1 0W-30 respectively.

Originally Posted By: razel Things look great for a 11 year old car with 118k. Like others I would move on and keep doing with the oil reports. It's the best way to stay on top of it. Those numbers are in ppm and if you sent it to another lab you'll get a different number. Same characteristics...

Originally Posted By: tig1 Tin is part of babbit bearings which in this case tin is 0. If this was a bearing spike then there should be several PPM of tin. Since UOAs are often inaccurate, so maybe the problem is the UOA. We've seen it before. If the bearings are a alum bi-metal materal, then...

Originally Posted By: dparm Eh, it's a minor spike. Watch it on the next one. Which particular motor does your G35 have, the VQ35DE or VQ35HR? It's a DE in 2003 sedan Originally Posted By: 147_Grain IF I had your vehicle, I wouldn't go over 7,500 miles with the 3.5L VQ35DE engine (that is...

Latest UOA from my G35. Note that this was not M1 5W-30 but 0W-30 AFE. A mistake when I submitted the sample. Previous UOA here - http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/2939476 The lead is way up but nothing else seems unusual to me. I did change the plugs...

Originally Posted By: sunruh yes true....hard to say if its motor or tranny...but in a shared sump we dont get that choice. honda crf250r's shed copper big time...just about when the conrod on the crank bearing goes boom out the bottom end. no i dont think you have this issue...just saying its...

Originally Posted By: sunruh Originally Posted By: jsharp Not sure what could be done about it in any case... The metals related to engine wear seem to be stable. I'd be happier if I could get rid of the excess fuel. Maybe a pipe this winter will help. how do you think that copper is not...

Originally Posted By: LoneRanger That is very notable that it stayed in grade with that much fuel dilution, for that amount of mileage on the oil. I'm guessing you run the bike pretty hard, too. I think its a great report. The bike gets ridden fast in the open but doesn't really get ridden...
