Analysis of Valvoline 10W-30 'All Climate' from 1 Qt. retail bottle. Analysis by Herguth Labs.
I opened a new 1 Qt. bottle and poured it directly into the sample bottle, so I don't think I contaminated the sample.
I was surprised to see a few PPM of Chromium, Iron, etc. show up. I wonder if it's a lab problem, or if the sample actually had these traces of metals.code:
