SOMETHING'S fishy with that report/post - those numbers don't look like ANY *I* have ever seen in an Amsoil sample - especially the inclusion of Moly and the high Boron count - Silicon is WAY off the wall as well.

mr2guru,
Welcome aboard!
THANK YOU for posting your UOA. We do appreciate it.
Do us a favor, though.
Submit a NEW POST in the forum named "Used Oil Analysis - Gas Engines".
In that post, please also describe your car by brand/model/model year, its engine size, how many months this sample was in, and your car's mileage on the day you took your sample.
In the subject line, please put car make/model/year, motor oil brand/viscosity, mileage on oil and months on oil.
You'll get better responses that way.
Once again, thanks for sharing the UOA. We need all we can get.
Also, I see your profile says you're in the military. Thanks for serving!

This doesn't look very good at all, as far as AW goes. Very little moly, phosphorus or zinc. Why buy this when delo is a II+ and has double or more the AW adds?
from C.O. Jones:
Can you elaborate on why you have related this to us? When does an oil become "good" in your opinion? What levels of additives?
They make a DELO 5W-20 that is API SM? Cool!!! Does it produce great UOA numbers like the other 5W-20s?
It's 2.7, isn't it?
SOme engines have alot of uptake! My Camry's 2AZ-FE engine mixed with cold temps and my driveing style sucked up a lot of moly,ZDDP and Calcium from M1R. THe UOA is on this site so you can look at the two M1R formulas and and my UOA and compare the three.
My car does not use a roller cam or followers. It uses Toyota proven cam follower design and cam buckets like a Ducati or Ferria instead of the shim design used in the past on their engines. This means their is a ton of opertunity for shearing and contact. It also has helical cut gears up top and strait cut gears in the lower end. Then you have the massive chain and the gears that have 300TPI that control the variable cam phaseing.
I am sure that had I run this same oil in the wifes Buick with has a roller cam/lifters that the uptake of AW additives would have been significantly lower!!!
