Oil - Redline 10w40
The vehicle is a 98 Honda VTR1000. That’s a 2 cylinder, 1000cc, water cooled sportbike.
The engine had 23,215 miles on it when the sample was taken.
The oil had 4233 on it when sampled.
Date oil changed, June 23
Date oil sampled, July 29
No oil was added before the sample was taken
Oil filter - OEM Toyo Roki, changed June 23
Air filter OEM, make unknown, changed June 23
Riding conditions - canyon blasting, 90+mph cruising across Nevada and Utah
Testing by Dyson Analysis
Results / comments (values ppm,or %)
copper 4 low
iron 7 low
chrome 0 low
lead 0 low
aluminum 8 low, mostly case alloy
silicon 10 low, air filter is working well
moly 511 redline additive
sodium 9 additive
Magnesium 20 additive/ case alloy
Tin 1 low, good
zinc 1330 additive, normal
potassium 0 coolant additive,good
phosphorus 1200 additive, normal
Calcium 2440 additive, good
water neg good
fuel neg good
glycol neg good
soot 0 no coked oil or combustion byproducts,good
oxidation 438 % Redline does this to our FT-IR probably closer to 44
%. equates to roughly 22 % on other scales.
Nitration 49% good, equates to 25% on other scales.
Sulfur 319 % Same issue as above oxidation, really 32 % not
meaningful for gasoline engines. Use as a relative reading for later
results.
TBN 11 perfect, like new.
VIs @100C 14.3 40w. new starts at 15.3 cSt so it sheared slightly.
