This second run on Amsoil SSO was exactly one year at 5,028-miles. SSO has been in this vehicle now for 12,532-miles of it’s 142,486-mile life span. Driving habits consist of mostly short distance stop-and-go driving with my place of work only three miles away from my residence. In addition, there are a few longer trips over the course of the year. 5,000-miles is considered as average annual mileage for this vehicle.
Prior to taking the UOA sample for this current report the vehicle was taken on a 20-mile trip that included a 7% grade hill climb. This was done primarily to help burn out otherwise excessive fuel dilution from the short distance stop-and –go driving. The car did not idle for any length of time prior to taking the sample. Sample was taken HOT and from the center of the crankcase.
Make-up oil on this run was carefully recorded with no oil added 3-months/1,100-miles prior to taking this UOA sample.
Make-up oil as follows:
9/1/09 139,869 miles - add 12oz
10/2/09 140,241 miles - add 9oz
11/14/09 141,245 miles - add 8oz
12/6/09 141,386 miles add - 13oz
Total add: 1qt, 10oz.
