Nice report, all metals are low and silicon too. TBN at 2.2 means you can go 1-2k miles longer.

 

[tig1]

Moly should be around 90 not 9.

 

[buster]

Excellent results.

 

[bourne]

Nice results. Doesnt that engine call for 5w20/0w20 ? If so, did you notice any difference in how the vehicle ran with the heavier weight oil ? ( noise/mpg/acceleration/butt dyno )

 

[sciphi]

The L15 in the Fit really seems not to care what oil it has in it.

I have some PYB 5w-30 laying around. That might go into the Fit next for a 7.5k mile run based on this.

Is this the 10w30 High Mileage? Zinc/Phosphorus are too high for SN.

Excellent results.

There moly is also too low for M1. Should be around 50-75ppm

 

[webfors]

Excellent results. Didn't shear much, insols low, I like.

 

[dnewton3]

Excellent showing.

Oil changed way too soon. Extend or waste ...

 

[C7M5]

Quick answers:
Moloy is 9 from report not a typo.
If it makes a difference the M1 is NOS, 6-7 years old. Stocked up at a great sale, 10w-30 was all they had so its what I use.
10w-30 is a little heavy, but still OKed by manual.
10w-30 is all I've ever used so can't tell any difference, MPG typical.
This is the first time I went 10k. Past changes were via the oil minder typically 7.5k-8.5k. so I figured what's an extra 2k for M1.
May try going 12k next time and see the test results.

Other than the moly, it looks like the current formula. Definitely doesn't look like it's from 6-7 years ago.

 

[garlicbreadman]

prime example where thicker oil doesnt hurt, in fact, it might be protecting even better

What API rating is this oil?

 

[JAG]

The calcium and magnesium values indicate it is API SN version.

Perhaps the oil life monitor suggested that it was due for a change. I would trust that over any consumer-grade UOA.

Some of the M1 oils do not contain Moly, BUT you always get a few ppm from previous oils or assembly lubes etc. Moly doesn't burn off so you can see roughly what was in the virgin oil from a UOA.

I don't recall any M1 oils in the last 2-4 years not having Moly in the 50-90 range. Now MSS is another story.

 

[buster]

Yeah tig is right, they have all had moly for years. All M1 grades.

 

[daman]

That looks like API SL and i agree a moly has to be a type- o.Definitely try 12k next run.
