EQUIPMENT MAKE: 98’ Jeep Wrangler Sahara

COMMENTS: Thanks for the note. It sounds like you take meticulous care of your Wrangler and it shows in analysis. The universal averages column shows typical wear from this type of engine after 4,400 miles on the oil. You ran this oil about half that interval and wear read extremely low. You changed this oil but it could definitely have been run longer. If you still have it, rebottle it and sell it to the neighbors. Its that clean! No moisture, fuel, or antifreeze found. Air and oil filtration are great (see silicon and insolubles). What a nice engine. At this rate it will outlast us all.

I know I could have gone longer on the oil but I timed it wrong. I wanted to get an analysis done before I left for college so I had no choice but to do it when I did. This oil was run mostly during the cold months (December through March). I am very happy with how it held up. Next time I will do a 3,000 mile interval. The day I took the sample I had been driving around running errands and then I let it sit for 15-20 minutes before I drained it and took the sample. I let it drain for 3-4 seconds before I took my dose. Looks good to me, I don’t think I will change anything. Oh, and a question. I use K&N Performance Gold oil filters. They claim to filter down to 10 microns. How much does a quality oil filter affect some of these wear numbers?
