Also, for nitration and oxidation you want that to be below 100%, above 50% means the oil has been used up quite a bit.
Haven't seen sulfation but I suggest the same thing, because that is prob associated with acid.
TBN is associated with them too, generally when it drops down very low (below 2 I think) the oxidation and nitration accelerate. It also allows the engine to make acids which corrode parts!
