2002 Mazda Protégé
2.0L 4-cyl Engine, 5-spd Manual
3.5 qt Sump
Supertech 10w-30-WPP (5 qt jug)
API SM/ILSAC-GF-4
No oil or fuel additives
Miles on Unit: 60518
Miles on Oil: 5078
Time on Oil: 3.5 months
Oil Filter: OEM
Air Filter: OEM
Conditions: Majority HWY; Central TX 12/19/05-4/1/06
Notes: Car was purchased used with an unknown past maintenance history. Fill prior to this oil was Exxon Superflo 10w-30 API SM/ILSAC GF-4 with an OEM filter for 1500 miles. This oil contains a sodium additive, hence the residual sodium in this analysis. When the Superflo was drained, it was already brown, which may indicate that some cleaning is occurring, and may explain the low TBN in this sample. (Note: OAI uses the ASTM D-4739 protocol to measure TBN, so the readings are approximately 2 pts higher than Blackstone’s. 1.0 is considered a low reading on the D-4739 scale by industry standards)
Current fill is Pennzoil Platinum 10w-30 API SM/ILSAC GF-4 with an OEM filter.
Lab: OAI/CTC (Amsoil)
