Report Date: 8/3/2009
Make/Model: GM 2.2L EcoTec
Additional Info: 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
Oil Type & Grade: Amsoil 0W/30
Oil Use Interval: 10,918 Miles
Additional Info: Wix oil filter (Made in South Korea).
Comments: You ran 10,918 miles on this fill of oil, and wear still looks great! Iron increased but this was expected with the longer oil run. Iron is the one wear metal that tends to track with miles on the oil (more miles = more iron). As long as all other wear stays low, which it did, we don't get too worried about high iron. We see nothing in this data that would prevent you from running your next oil longer. Try 12,000 miles next time. The TBN read 4.2, which still shows you had enough active additive left to have been run longer. No moisture, fuel, or antifreeze found.

My comments: Great oil, definitely thicker than the XL 5w20 I have in now. I added .5 qts as makeup oil but really I didn't need to add any (actually put me .5qts overfull). Oil didn't get light brown till 5,000 miles. It got dark syrup colored at 7,000 miles and it was pretty dark at 10,000 miles.
