M1 0w40 with Volvo oem filter, no makeup oil added.
You asked if this is Mobil 1 0W/40, and judging by the additives, we'd say yes. This oil was run
about the same miles as the last, and wear metals look about the same. The steady trends you're starting to
develop are a great indication that your engine is in good shape and isn't developing any problems. The
minor amount of fuel is okay. Low insolubles and low silicon show proper oil and air filtration, and the 4.1
TBN is still solid. You mentioned the oil is to be changed soon, but you could leave it in use up to another
2,000 miles, if you want. Nice Volvo!
First number is latest sample, second number is sample taken at 37,293 (7396 miles on oil) and third number is universal average. The samples were taken before the oil was changed which is why the miles don't exactly match with the odomoter readings. The reference to whether the oil is really M1 0W40 was the response to a question I asked. Wanted to make sure dealer really using M1.
