Blackstone Comments:

This is a nice second report from your Jetta's 2.5L engine. Most metals have improved a bit

since last time, as we would expect for an engine as it matures through the first few oil changes. The high

copper last time was probably a little residual wear-in that has now all but washed out of the engine. You

might see a few ppm of improvements next time, but ideally, from here on out, you'll see pretty steady

readings. The viscosity was fine, and the TBN was good at 3.9. No fuel, moisture, or coolant was found. Try

up to 9,000 miles next time. Nice!

What were the insolubles? Definitely not 68.4

 

[901Memphis]

With that kind of TBN you can easily go 10k+

 

[csavko]

Insolubles should read .3.

Forgot to mention this is SN 0w-40.

Looks great! time to increase the OCI to 10k and call it a day. Nice engine!
