Lab Comments:
Thanks for the notes. We're happy to hear that the engine is running well for you and this first report supports your claim. Wear metals were low next to universal averages. They show typical wear for this type of Volvo Penta engine after about 145 hours. With only 50 hours, metals look good and don't show signs of excessive wear at internal parts. Silicon was a bit high, maybe abrasive dirt getting past the air filter, or maybe its harmless sealer/lube. Check the air filter to be sure. The TBN was strong at 13.1, so add 25 hours to this fill and check back.
