Hello all,
This is my first UOA with this vehicle. I have owned this since new and it has had nothing but AC Delco dexos 2 synthetic 5w30 oil in it along with the AC Delco filter. This is the 1.6 liter Ecotec engine second generation engine.
Miles on engine 37,749
Miles on oil 5,679
Aluminum 4
Chromium 2
Iron 43
Copper 3
Lead 0
Tin 0
Molybedenum 2
Nickel 2
Manganese 0
Silver 0
Titanium 1
Potassium 6
Boron 3
Silicon 4
Sodium 4
Calcium 1833
Magnesium 11
Phosphorus 714
Zinc 785
Barium 0
SUS viscosity 66.8 (range 57-65) slightly elevated
cSt viscosity 12.10 (range 9.4-11.9)
Flashpoint 425 f
Fuel % Antifreeze % 0
Water percent 0
Insolubles % 0.3
TBN 3.7
I may switch to pennzoil european formula in the future as I can get a better price on this oil. I also assume the slitghtly high iron could be from break in perhaps?
Let me know your opinions/thoughts. -Ponch
