This is My first Voa, I tried to line up the results in a word document but it still wouldn't transfer over I apologize. This was performed at Oil Analyzers. Some one on hear said not to give them too much information or else they wouldn't run the sample and just look up other engines info. I'm disappointed they didn't run the Viscosity but they said water present and cold sampling. I sampled it hot but haven't taken it for a long drive to boil out the water in a while. The vehicle sits for 2-4 days at a time with frequent short trips and idling to warm up the cabin. There was 11 months on this sample.
They say "Boron is low for this sample, Please provide Component Make, Model to compare data to correct standards, unit and or lubricant time missing. Water is at a moderate level, Re-sample in 3,500 miles or 65 hours." The titanium must be left over from three runs of Kendall GT1 but I performed an Amsoil flush before this oil run. I didn't change the oil this time but changed the filter to a full flow.
It might be in my head but I felt this oil helped clean up the rings after a few month allowing providing smoother operation, response. I noticed a little more oil consumption with this oil but I wanted better cold start circulation which helped. This oil seamed thicker at start up with some time on it than when new.
