I recently switched to Amsoil and here is the 2nd analysis on the same oil at 7,000 miles. My first analysis at 5,000 miles had a high level of fuel in the oil, >3%, so I decided to do it again after only 2000 miles to see if the fuel continued to be a problem.
For this sample I drove the car longer, 30 min+ to make sure the oil was at normal operating temperature. In the first sample I had only driven the car for approx 10 – 15 minutes before I took the sample. In the 2nd analysis the fuel is at normal levels however it is now it is showing a high level of Oxide and Nitrate. The original factory air filter was still being used when I took both samples. I posted both results at 5,000 and 7,000 miles. I would appreciate any thoughts.
