Blackstone Labs; There's lots to like about this most recent sample! Metals line up nicely with trends and slightly higher copper
is still near enough to universal averages to be unconcerning. Fuel also dropped down to just a trace, which is the smallest
amount we can detect and a common/harmless find. The TBN shows that active additives were not depleted and we were able
to obtain an ISO Cleanliness Code this time. It read 12/11/8, a good bit lower than other samples across the page (15/14/11).
The LiquiMoly additive did not skew our results. This Civic looks great at 588,485 total miles!

Wow! Those new fuel injectors made a big difference.
