Hello folks. I did not bother to do any UOA on this car while taking a break from BITOG and oil hoarding.
Got this car back in 2017 as a lease return with close to 40k miles on it. First oil change I stripped the drain bolt, that some gorilla must have tightened. (In reality weak spot on those and Cruzes with the same engine). It has Fumoto valve since then. Oil was changed every 1-2 years (2 years max per manual).
This sample has about 12k miles(forgot to write down, but have odo picture around that time showing 88k miles) on it and 15 months. OLM was showing 10% left.
This is what long OCIs do to you, you forget what and when you have done unless written down or pictures taken
High fuel could be explained by force starting the engine before draining oil for about 10 min to idle. Did not want to drain stone-cold oil(the engine did not start for couple of weeks prior too). Next time I can try not starting it before draining. High Moly is probably from LM MoS2, I have 1 more can staring at me from the shelf, that will go into Mitsu in my sig during next summer oil change.
The oil that was used is pictured here, long-life Euro oil (snagged on some good sale years ago). The filter used was Fram TG(sale, otherwise I would use XG/Ultra).
The same oil and filter went in, can of LM Ceratec was added.
