    Anyone had this happen with a mobil 1 m-104 filter

    I went to autozone to buy some mobil 1 oil for my Mazda Miata. They had a special 5 quarts of mobil 1 and mobil 1 filter for 24.95. I selected the M-104 which is what my Honda Accord uses and I have used for my Miata 2001 model. It is oversized for the miata but the Pureone in this size has...

    07 2500hd Classic, 2 reports, bad sodium, Castrol

    Looks like a good report that the sodium is an additive. Nice information for all of us to have. Looks like you have no problems with this engine and it is breaking-in just fine. Thanks for letting us know about the sodium.

    M1 ext 10w-30, 8158 M, 05 toy taco DC 4x4 V6 4.0

    Everything looks great but you should be able to go longer with the EP. Lead is close to normal. My lead always runs a little more than most people. I think I lug the engine trying for good milage. This is on a straight drive Miata. Gives great milage but my lead is always about 4ppm after...

    02 Accord V6 AMSOIL 0W20 8177 OCI 81282 on car

    Excellent improvement on your last UOA. Keep doing what you are doing as it is working. My guess is a thrust washer was not quite right but time is wearing it in just fine. My accord burns zero oil at 200,000 so I am surprised by the oil consumption. Howeve mine is the 4 cyl so its apples to...

    Looks very good to me. Could be excellent with a paper air filter. Napa Gold would be my recomendation.

    06 Jetta 2.5, Amsoil AFL 5w-40, 10,587 OCI

    Looks like an excellent report on a VW engine. I would not change a thing. Remember you usually get what you pay for with most oil.

    '08 Ranger 2.3L, 5W20 Royal Purple, 6200 miles

    I agree an excellent report. Royal Purple seems to have their act together. Engine should last forever with this oil.

    Lost sample

    I have had no problem with anything sent reg mail. If you send it priority you are asking for problems because it gets handled seperately which is what causes the problem. I sent a bill priority and it took 8 days. Sent it regular mail next time and it took 3 days. Send all my samples regular...

    mobil 1 0w-40 after 9734 miles 2001 Miata

    No TBN on this run but the last run was 3.0 after 12,000 miles. It had more wear metals so I backed up to 10,000 which I think is close to the limit for this oil for me. Probably a good interval for anyone with a clean running engine without problems.

    Great report. Did you use the Mobil 1 EP 15w-50 or the regular mobil 1 15w-50?

    UOA - M1 0/40 after 10K

    I agree with buster. Better air filtration needed. Give a NAPA GOLD air filter a try and check for leaks in air intake. Some Techron would help also.

    Mobil 1/ 5046 miles /2007 Mazdaspeed3

    I think this is an excellent report at this low break-in milage. No problems at all.
