Code:
MAKE/MODEL: Mercedes Benz 5.5L (M275) V-12 Twin Turbo
FUEL TYPE: Gasoline (Unleaded)
ADDITIONAL INFO:
OIL TYPE & GRADE: Mobil 1 0W/40
OIL USE INTERVAL: 9,186 Miles
Blackstone comments: Another great report! You pushed a little longer on the oil this time around, so there were some slight
increases in a few metals (chrome, iron, copper), but the other metals actually improved since last time.
Since universal averages are based on ~4,400 miles of oil use, and you're getting better-than-average wear
on a much longer oil run, we don't see any problems to report here! Your previous sample had a slightly low
viscosity, but that's back in line this time, and the TBN is still strong at 3.3, so this oil can run longer. Try
11,000 miles next oil. Nice!
MI/HR on Oil 9,186 8,946
MI/HR on Unit 73,939 64,753
Sample Date 05/26/14 04/10/13
Working on the code block...without much luck...
BLUF: Another good report on Mobil 1's 0W40 in my V-12. Just changed it again, and filled it with another 10 QTs of Mobil 1 0W40. Can't see selecting a different oil when this one is both reasonable in price and performs so well in a long drain in this car.
