It has been about three years since I have been on here so I have for fogotten my login information. My brother was kind enough to allow me to use his account to post my oil analysis report. With that said the results are below:
1997 Honda Civic
Oil: Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30
Oil filter- Wix
Air filter- Wix
Total miles on vehicle = 134,982
Miles on oil = 7,541
Time on oil ~3 months
Make up oil= None
Aluminum----------0
Chromium----------0
Iron----------------5
Copper-------------6
Lead---------------10
Tin-----------------0
Molybdenum-------56
Nickel--------------0
Manganese---------0
Silver--------------0
Titanium----------0
Vanadium----------0
Antimony----------0
Lithium-----------0
Potassium---------2
Boron-------------33
Barium------------2
Silicon-----------17
Sodium------------5
Calcium-----------3236
Magnesium---------14
Phosphorous-------779
Zinc--------------936
CSt Visc. @ 100C----10.3
Fuel (%)----------------- Water (%)--------------- TBN---------------------5.38
Soot-------------------- Oxidation----------------21
Nitration----------------24
Everything looks good to my eye except the wear metals which are a little higher than I am used to seeing. This is also my first oil analysis without an Amsoil By-pass filter(They are installed on different pieces of equipment.) so no doubt I probably have to allow for higher wear numbers on my Honda Civic.
Any thoughts or comments?
