As promised, here are the results of the oil analysis on my 2004 Chevy Venture, 3.0 L V6, 30,500 miles.
Using a trasko filter
Mobile 1 5/W30
Approximately 11k miles +/- 100 on the oil
TBN=2.2
Particle count:
ISO code 14/10
>2mu 252
>5mu 93
>10mu 25
>15mu 10
>25mu 2
Zero for all larger sizes
Aluminum=3 - Universal Averages = 4
Cromium=1 - UA=1
Iron=35 - UA=14
Copper=48 - UA=5
Lead=17 - UA=1
Tin=1 - UA=0
Moly=74 - UA=35
Ni=1 - UA=1
Manganese=3 - UA=0
Silver=0 - UA=0
Titanium=0 - UA=0
Potassium=0 - UA=2
boron=33 - UA=23
Silicon=40 - UA=11
Sodium=4 - UA=3
Calcium=2304 - UA=1946
Magnesium=12 - UA=119
Phosphorus=601 - UA=746
Zinc=769 - UA=863
Barium=0 - UA=0
Viscosity should be 65-78, is 61.4
Flashpoint SB >375, is 400
Fuel SB Antifreeze SB 0, is 0.0
Water SB Insolubles SB
So.... what does it mean?
It looks like Iron is somewhat high, copper is very high, lead very high.
Moly is high (is that part of the add pack?)
Silicon is way high (in particular what does that mean?)
Magnesium is way low. What does THAT mean?
Particle counts look pretty good to me, given that this is not a true TP ROLL filter.
All of the properties look good as well. No antifreeze leakage (of particular concern in this engine).
I asked for a Dyson analysis but didn't receive it. In fact I had just about given up on the entire report, thinking it had been lost in the mail.
