Here are the comments from Blackstone Labs and the updated report. Quote: I had a chance to rerun your sample and both phosphorus and zinc were indeed lower this time. Phosphorus read at 777 and Zinc was 909 ppm this time around. I took a look at the check standard data and it looks like zinc...

I sent an e-mail earlier today regarding the Phosphorous and Zinc readings. Still awaiting a response from Blackstone. I'll keep you guys posted.

I did clean out the air box after changing the air filter to the MicroGard. I'll take a look at it again just to see how dirty it gets in there. What I'll probably do is run the MicroGard for another oil run (which will probably take another 6 months or so), just to get another base sample, and...

Here is my second oil report. Oh, Silicon... why can't you be lower? 7,000 mile oil run? Should I? - 1998 Honda CR-V, 139,390 miles (Original owner) - 4 quarts Pennzoil Conventional (PYB) 5w30, SN Formulation - 5,887 mile oil run - Purolator PureONE oil filter (PL14559) - Used Fumoto valve...

Thanks for the replies. I've only been doing my own oil changes the last three times (first time ever was in June of 2010). Before that I would just take it to either my mechanic or a quick lube station and honestly never paid attention to what they were putting in. Usually the receipt did say...

Here is the photo of my K&N filter in case you were interested.

Hello everyone. I'm new to this site, but I just wanted to contribute and see what you guys think. - 1998 Honda CR-V, 133,502 miles (Original owner) - 4 quarts Pennzoil Conventional (PYB) 5w30, SM Formulation - 3,800 mile oil run, 1/3 highway, 2/3 city (2-3 mile trips) - 16 oz. of MMO added to...
