Nice!

 

[robl]

Looking good!

Just to confirm that this is an 09 Acadia?

It was good to see that this oil did stay in grade.

 

[JDR15467]

Yes, this is a 2009 Acadia

FWIW, to be more specific it would be GM's 3.6L V-6 Direct Injection engine.

 

[JDR15467]

GM's 3.6L V-6 Direct Injection engine is the correct engine. Sorry, forgot that part.

PP is a great oil, but boy do these GM Direct injection engines throw a lot of wear metals, just like the Audi/Volkswagon DI engines.

Nice report! PP is great oil and one of the best with respect to staying in grade.

What filter was used during this run of PP?

 

[21Rouge]

A half a quart added would help with the TBN level.

 

[JDR15467]

The Mobile One Extended Performance filter.

That's the M1-113...right?

 

[JDR15467]

Sorry, I don't recall what the number was. But I know it was for the extended drain oil and cost somewhere around $10.

Wow, this is probably the best UOA that I've seen on a GM 3.6DI engine.

The oil looks good. But if after 8380 miles the OLM is 15% on a good oil like PP, it makes you wonder what a run of the mill dino oil would look like. That OLM really seems to wring every possible mile out of OCI.

 

[tig1]

Just asking. How can a OLM tell if you are using the worst dino or the best synthetic?

Yeah that was my point but I probably worded it poorly. The OLM was predicting 15% life still left but it didn't know if it had the worst dino or one of the best synthetics. Not to mention it can't really tell if you have coolant or fuel dilution, high silcates etc. Btw, I wonder if misfire codes affect the OLM predction? PP looked good but I can't imagine that just any dino oil would've looked good at that interval.
