Long story short....
I got the car with 69 miles and changed the OEM oil at 678 miles.
This fill was conventional Valvoline 5w/30.
besides some short trips I commute 45 miles each way mostly suburbs / highway so the car does get properly warmed, I am averaging 26.1 mpg over the 3100 miles so for the most part I'm easy on the car but I do get spirited some times....
This sample was taken after driving 45 miles from work and the car idled for 3-5 minutes before changing the oil / taking the sample.
I am worried about this UOA... I plan on doing another UOA in a month and a half or so @ 3k miles.... Any suggestions?? Could I really have an issue with Anti-freeze with such low miles? What else could have caused this?
should I switch to a Synth?... any suggestions for a new oil to try? Currently I have Dino Pennzoil 5w/30 with an OEM filter ...
