This is my most current UOA on my Avalon. I'm concerned about the spike in Sodium. So, I'm trying to figure out what might be going on. I'm wondering if Redline fuel treatment might be the cause. I know I'm going to get hammered for my early changes, I acknowlege that.
The current change is 10/10 Penzoil Platinum,
7/28 Eneos Sustina 5W30
3/02 Valvoline White Bottle 5W30
02/02 Lubrication Engineers 5W30
Since the previous oil used was Eneos Sustina, Sodium didn't come from there.
Thanks in advance.
