Uumm...whats with the Potassium and Boron?

Would this not indicate a massive coolant leak???

Boron in these amounts isn't an oil additive; and Potassium isn't an oil additive at all!

I think your HG's are gone!

It did state that he was using Archoil. Not sure what they use for additives though.

They use potassium and boron and they state these will read high on an UOA. See here:

Archoil

Just a friendly FYI.


I know thanks, nothing on Photobuckets but bikes and trucks:)

Yes I put 16 OZ of Archoil in both my Powerstroke and Cummins at the 3000km mark, that's whats raised the Potasium and Boron. I did take a sample before I added it to make sure all things were good.:)
