First report on this "new to me" used Camaro I picked up. The LT1 (not LT9 as indicated in the report) 6.2 is DI so I wanted to go through OA for a more accurate fuel dilution report, but got a surprise with this really high oxidation. What are your thoughts? I'm glad I did an oil change when I did, and not at the 10k mile mark that is recommended. 5k mile tops from here on out.
Some back story, this car was on the lot at the dealer for a quite a few months through a very cold winter and I'm sure it got shuttled around the lot often, or taken out for lunch without the oil getting anywhere near hot. Could that be key to such high oxidation? In normal driving it typically only sees 200 degree oil temps driving back and forth to work. Otherwise I'm fairly pleased with the wear report.
Another 10qts of M1 0W40 ESP X3 went back in (need that Dexos approval for warranty coverage) along with an ACDelco PF64 oil filter.
