Pulled another sample from my 07 Si after running 2 OCIs of Amsoil ASL 5w30 to flush out any remaining Mobil 1 juice.
Half a quart was added 1,000 miles prior to the sample. I'm surprised by the high TBN
This is the first time i've done the TAN and particle count tests, can someone please explain what the numbers mean.
