10k miles/M1 0w40 2012 yaris

[Plawan]

As you can see this report is from 2019.
I actually just received it today.
I had bought some wix UOA kits before and eventually sent one off in 2019. Never heard back so I forgot about it.
Recently I sent one in for my Ram which I will post soon.
I contacted the lab and told them about this report and they actually have it in their file.
So here it is
Woulda been majority h/w miles and the filter was a micro green.
I was planning to see how long I could go on the combo but after I didn’t hear back from the lab I just changed the oil.
The car had 50k on it then and the M1 0w40 and filter had 10k.
Car now has 120+k and is running fine and trouble free so far.
Since that run Ive been changing the oil at 7500ish with whatever synthetic 30 or 40 weight.

Decent report, some shear. How come they never sent the report back to you in 2019?

Really good results for 16.000 kms... Do you know exact M1 model or you used any additive? Molybdenum is high.

I dunno. I don’t think I knew to call and have it emailed then. Seems like I was just waiting for a snail mail copy that never came.

I just know it was a European formula and was SN.
I might have dumped some MOS 2 in. I remember I was experimenting with those sorta things then.

Isn’t the sodium odd? I don’t remember M1 ever using it? I’m also curious about the silicone.
I think the oil did good considering the sump is only 4 quarts and there was no makeup oil added.

Ok then it was MoS2. Yeah Si/Na/Mo were significative.

Could be fuel too, with no fuel or flashpoint figure, we don't know.
