This is the latest UOA from my wife's car.
Here are the results from Wearcheck Canada.
8,200 miles on oil
Nov 8, 2005 to Sept 23, 2006 (10.5 months)
76,000 miles on engine
German Castrol Syntec 0w30
K&N oil filter
Fram air filter
Mostly city driving
4L oil capacity
No top up oil
Iron 19
Lead 6
Aluminum 4
Copper 2
Chromium 1
Nickel 0
Titanium 0
Tin 0
Silver 0
Silicon 8
Potassium 0
Sodium 1
Boron 1
Barium 0
Calcium 2847
Magnesium 132
Moly 1
Phosphorus 767
Zinc 891
Oxidation 84
Nitration 82
Sulfation 59
Fuel Water 0
Glycol 0
Viscosity 12.5 cst at 100c (40wt)
TBN 2.49
This is the second UOA in a row from this car that I'm disappointed with. The wear numbers have gone up the last two intervals. The TBN is a lot lower than I'm used to for GC also.
I put Syntec 5w30 in there now, so I'll change it around 6 or 7k and see how it does. Perhaps this Honda just doesn't like an oil as thick as GC?
