Texaco Havoline 5w-30

[TR3-2001SE]

The following is the results of my sons Mazda Millinia V6 95 model with approx 3000 miles.
He has been abusing this car by changing the oil
every 6 months which we believe to be around 10,000 miles using regular dino oil. It looks like we are OK with the abuse and a better oil and auto-rx is being done. Car has 99,000 miles on it. Oil filter was Motorcraft. 1 quart of
Castrol GTX High Milage 10w30 added at 2100 miles. Comments welcomed. We are now using 15w40 Delo

Pretty decent, but not outstanding report. The GTX must be an old blend or the moly would be higher. (I think). Unfortunately looks like the Havoline probably thinned out bc with the 1 quart of the makeup with the GTX its just barely a 30 wt. Good silicon #.

If he did 10,000 ok dino oil then this report doesn't look bad at all.
You wouldn't expect low numbers usinging dino for 10k.
So I don't think this looks bad to me.

He said this report only had 3,000 miles on it; previously he had been going to 10,000 miles. And for that, I'd say it's a good report. I wish my "abused" engines produced this good a report
