Quote: what is amsoil ATM? search seems to show, Signature Series is ATM? i call it by the product code. it was ATM long before it got the moniker SS Quote: why did you decrease your interval? looks fantastic to me but an oil that expensive with only 8.8k? I think its too short of an OCI...

i don't know what the intake looks like on your car, but my issue with blue smoke at startup was due to oil in the intake from the pcv valve. a catch can fixed it.

Originally Posted By: dustyroads Nice to see a Ford 3.5 report! Your aluminum is a little on the high side for that engine, even for the miles run. On the other hand, your copper looks better than average, (speaking specifically for the Ford 3.5) despite running more miles. Was there any...

here i go again. from previous thread (http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubb...0_V#Post3489100), we discounted the MFA lab results since it's a) free and b) wide range of results in comparison to ALS and polaris' numbers. This test i did not send a sample to polaris. Code: MFA WIX/als...

Originally Posted By: Falken I think it is best to not tell them what oil you used or the mileage, vehicle, miles or hours on the unit, or any makeup oil used. you and i think alike. problem i found though with OAI in 2007 was they weren't testing/ giving results for oxidation or nitration if...

Originally Posted By: demarpaint So which one do you believe? When I see things like this it makes me wonder if a UOA is even worth it. As Quattro Pete said there's quite a difference between MFA and the two others. MFA was a free service, and it's clearly evident here- results are all over...

Originally Posted By: Ducman Quite right. It depends upon the testing method. Anyway it doesn't matter, as long as the results of subsequent UOA's relating to the oil from the machinery being assessed, don't show anything abnormal when testing is always performed at the same lab. That's the...

just spoke to amsoil tech svcs, no amsoil doesn't own OAI. as to why I have lower TBN numbers... http://www.pqiamerica.com/TBN.htm he said the D4739 test (hydrochloric acid) will generally report new oil 2pts lower than actual.

Originally Posted By: BrianC Still way off on viscosity and TBN. Stick with Blackstone or Polaris/Oil Analyzers.(same thing). TBN should be 12+. Vis. @ 100C should be 10 to 11. isn't OAI owned by amsoil?
