This sample was done at Cat. This run had 6200miles and 110 idling hours on it. This is also the same batch of oil that I noticed the light Gray almost graphite feeling varnish on the inside of the plastic valve cover?
My silicon is down from 18ppm to 12ppm, so I think I found my source which was intake boot clamps loose..FIXED.
Car:Escort Zx2 with 223k miles DOHC Zetec 16v motor
Comments..Suggestions?

I've covered this before. Sometimes I spend a lot of time in the car and in TExas I want the AC or heat on to be comfortable. PLUS I don't like to start and stop the thing 5-6 times a day If I can help it. Kinda OCD I guess.
I'm the kind of person that

When I see someone shut of and restart a normal car 4-5 times waiting in a drive through..Just let her run' better for the car I'd think

So Rand,
By your estimates the oil has about 9,000 miles on it. The 110 hours of idle times WAS IN ADDITION to the miles driven on the car.
 
I can't seem to get the pics uploaded. The cam and top of head are absolutely spotless
How do I upload the pics? I'm a noob at this

Please don't do that. -MOD




As for the UOA, the engine looks fine overall.

You're wasting expensive lube on such short OCIs. Any decent dino lube could turn in those numbers.

You have a few choices:
1) extend your RP OCIs
2) use dino for these OCIs
3) stay on your current path and continue to waste money
