From a 2008 Saturn Aura with a 3.5L V6, 26860 miles on the car and 7775 miles on the oil, I used the GM oil life monitor down to 0% left. Using Castrol synthetic Blend 5W-30 oil and an AC Delco PF-61 filter.
The engine holds 4 quarts, the oil lasted a little more than 4 months.
Iron 24
Molybdenium 7
Copper 87
Silicon 9
Sodium 174
Boron 6
Calcium 2304
Phosphorous 485
Zinc 598
Solids .1
Glycol NEG
Water Viscosity Cst@40 57
PH 5.2
TBN 2.18
Fuel dilution 1.1%
All other reported values was Zero.
Are the metal values too high?
The fuel may be because the car was only driven 3 miles before the oil change.
