Notes: Blackstone says this is typical of an oil with 4100 miles. Is this o.k. for an Auto-RX rinse? The oil viscosity was a little low, and the lead was 3x the universal averages. This car has 116k miles with the 2.2L engine. I'm now selling it so won't worry about this car anymore

Hard to say on rinses. How grungy was the engine? Lead looks scary high to me, but could be clean-up.

What is starting viscosity?

I don't know what the starting viscosity was, but the analysis said it was 0.5 sus under where it should be. The oil was really black when it drained out.

Anyway, everything but the lead looked fine, so I can sell it with a good conscience.
