Hi,
I'm from the Caribbean and back home I have a Japanese model Honda Civic EK3 Ferio Vi Multimatic. To read more about my car see here:
EK3 Honda Civic Ferio Vi
EK3 Honda Civic Ferio Vi Multimatic Transmission
JDM VTEC-D15B Engine
It has a JDM VTEC-D15B engine.
Here is the UOA for it after 6,500 miles on Castrol GTX 20W-50
------>ppm
Cr----->4
Pb----->11
Cu----->7
Fe----->23
Sn----->3
Al----->15
Ni----->0
K------>12
Ag----->0
Si------>29
B------>1
Na----->24
Mg----->20
Ca----->2041
P------->908
Zn----->1112
Mo----->159
Ba------>0
Ti------>0
V------->0
cSt Viscosity 100°C ------------->17.87
Oxidation abs/cm--------------->0.22
Nitration abs/cm---------------->0.07
Sulfur abs/cm------------------->0.27
TBN (ASTM D2896) mgKOH/g--->4.84
H2O, Glycol, Soot and Fuel were all 0%
I know the silicon was high. I think it's because some work was done on the engine and the gasket maker gel used may have contributed to this. Also I had on a [censored] air filter that I think let some dust in. I'll change it to a K&N and see what happens next oil change.
Any ideas on how to decrease the Fe, Al and Pb numbers?
I'm thinking about changing to Chevron Supreme 10W-30 eventually and running for 4,000 miles.
Right now I'm doing an Auto-Rx cleaning phase with Castrol GTX 10w-30.
I'll do the rinse cycle and the repeat with Chevron.
Thanks for looking.
Thor.
