This is my first Oil Analysis, so I am not totally sure if what I am seeing is good, bad, or indifferent. Any input would be appreciated. I could use some help finding the proper way to post.
OIL QSUD 5W-20
Oil Filter NAPA Gold
MILES IN USE 5547
MILES 13247
SAMPLE TAKEN 10/06/12
Universal Averages
ALUMINUM 6 6
CHROMIUM 1 0
IRON 29 19
COPPER 4 6
LEAD 1 1
TIN 0 1
MOLYBDENUM 74 62
NICKEL 1 0
MANGANESE 8 5
SILVER 0 0
TITANIUM 0 1
POTASSIUM 0 3
BORON 19 97
SILICON 17 13
Sodium 4 62
Calcium 2656 1936
Magnesium 17 275
Phosphorus 760 713
Zinc 1130 817
Barium 0 1
Values Should Be
SUS Viscosity @ 210°F 52.4 46-59
cSt Viscosity @ 100°C 8.00 6.0-10.2
Flashpoint in °F 395 >355
Fuel % Antifreeze % 0.0 0.0
Water % 0.0 Insolubles % 0.4 TBN N/A
TAN N/A
ISO Code N/A
You didn't mention the oil on the oil slip, so we took the liberty of filling it in for you -- as a 5W/20, since that's where the oil measured. This sample looks quite good overall. Iron is just a little higher than average, but considering this is a pretty young engine at this point, we're not calling the extra iron a problem. Since this may be only the third oil change for this engine, the slightly elevated iron reading could be due to lingering wear-in. Other metals are fine compared to averages, which are based on 4,400 miles. No
contamination was found. Try up to 7,500 miles.
