A few strange things on this report, IMO:
- 45 ppm of iron? Is it possible the engine is still breaking in? It's higher than what I had expected, even though the lab had no issue with it.
- 4000 ppm of calcium? Doesn't this oil have about 3000 normally? Not sure what oil was in there before...
- 14 ppm of silicon? Ugh... not terrible, but it could be better. Do I have an air leak? The air filters are a PITA to get to (I think), but I'll have to take a look in there...
- Viscosity: 12.2 cSt @ 100C. Well lookie here... just when we thought M1 0w-40 does not thin out of grade anymore...
