2018 Honda Civic Si
Lab: Oil Analyzers Inc
Sample date: 4/19/2018
Analysis date: 4/25/2018
Miles on vehicle: 3,995 miles
Miles on oil: 2,989 miles
Oil: Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0W-20
Oil Filter: Honda genuine oil filter (new on this OCI)
Air Filter: Honda genuine (from factory)
Fuel: Shell 93 octane
Note 1: I inadvertantly stuck a finger in this oil while taking the sample (doh!)
Note 2: First oil and oil filter change was roughly at 1,000 miles
Note 3: Car was allowed to idle during fill-ups and short stops during winter
Code:
Iron 11
Chromium 0
Nickel 0
Aluminum 6
Copper 5
Lead 0
Tin 0
Cadmium 0
Silver 0
Vanadium 0
Silicon 39
Sodium 2
Potassium 5
Titanium 0
Molybdenum 121
Antimony 1
Manganese 1
Lithium 0
Boron 76
Magnesium 653
Calcium 1061
Barium 0
Phosphorus 606
Zinc 659
Fuel dilution: 3.6% (GC)
Soot:
Water:
Vis@100C: 6.6
Base #: 4.85
Oxidation: 9 abs/cm
Nitration: 10 abs/0.1mm
Silicon and Fuel Dilution were flagged. I'm attributing the silicon to having stuck my finger in the sample jar, lol.
Overall I'm not concerned at this point. I'm using the same oil this interval but with a Napa Gold filter and will resample after 3k miles. The fuel dilution is my main source of focus.
The GDI and Fuel Dilution saga continues...
