note:
1)all double asterisk are abnormal range
2)Oxidation results are skewed by the synthetic makeup of the AFT
3)Cu, Pb, etc indicate bronze component wear.
4)The lab notes that there is little or no database for AFT UOAs in general or for 4l30E tranny.
5)My tranny specialist said that the wear was not unusual or significant. You cannot compare this with Engine UOAs.
Vehicle use included off roadingin UT, AZ, CA, and High speed runs through the desert in high temps. This was my first UOA.
