how long: 2.5 months 6k km = 3750 miles
conditions: 80% city heavy traffic 20% normal

Looks great.

Sodium is a little high. Might be from previous oil. Could be reasons for it. Probably not a coolant leak as K would exist also. How many miles on vehicle?

Looks good though.

vehicle has 26k km now. This Oil went in at 19k and came out at 25k. 1.6 km = 1 mile so oil went in roughly around 12k miles and came out 3,750 miles later just before winter started here. Break-in wear - I am assuming is over even though Cu is a tad bit high.

As far as sodium is concerned, previous oil run was Tech2k 0w30. Hope its not the coolant. Manganese is obviously from gas courtesy Petro-Canada.

sodium could also be inherant in mobil 1 sample, could it not? I have noticed that VOA's of M1 Products show a little sodium at times. Noise or used as an additive? Reason I ask is I don't think i've seen them above 15 ppm (VOA's that is)
