Havoline 5W30, 3489 miles, 1996 Toyota Tacoma 2.4L

[vwthingman]

Code:
I ran Havoline 5W30 W/Deposit Shield for 3489 miles on this run. Previous run was Amsoil SSO 0W30. Total miles on vehicle is 192020.



Comments: Sodium is an element that can either indicate coolant (along with Potassium)or come from additive in the oil (a past oil since Havoline doesn't contain it). In your case, the latter is more likely due to the fact that no other potassium was present and wear metals look great. Metals read close to universal averages (based on 4,200) miles, showing normally wearing internal parts. The result of the TBN test was 4.2. This indicates there was plenty of active additive left. A TBN of less than 1.0 is too low. Overall this is a nice first report. Try going 5,000 - 5,500 miles next time.

Not a bad UOA. I would keep this routine up. You could easily push it to 5k, but that is your prerogative. Thank you for sharing the UOA! Nice engine, good looking oil.
