Hello all, this is my first post and I hope I include all the necessary information. I just got the results from my very first UOA and would love to get some input from the experts here.
I don't pretend to know how to read this, but the comments provided by Blackstone are a little alarming. The car was bought new on 5/1/06 and over the past 23 months or so, I have put just over 10,000 miles on it. I changed the factory fill at 5,001 miles (sometime in February of '07), which is when the above analyzed oil was put in. At the same time, I put in a new Wix filter. The car is driven, on average, perhaps 4 days a week and averages about 25 miles per day.
I guess what I want to hear is that although some values are high, I haven't done any permanent damage to the engine. I will do what Blackstone says and change the oil sooner this time around. Anyone have any suggestions as to when to do this? I put in SuperTech 5W30 and a new Wix filter on 3/17/08. Is 3,000 miles too soon?
Thanks in advance,
Erik
