“What was flashpoint?
What method does youroil.net use for water (assume not Karl Fischer) & fuel (assume not FTIR)?
What was TAN and sulfate byproducts? I don't know if youroil.net does these tests in a typical UOA.
What filters were used on both? OEM oil & air? “
These are good questions indeed.
The flashpoint was very low indicative of more fuel in the oil than indicated by the test values, both oil samples probably had more fuel in there than indicated.
I do not know the test methods used by youroil.net.
The TAN in my sample was very high at 1.71. This may be a better indicator than TBN and I am happy that DysonAnalysis does this. It is possible that TBN is high but cannot neutralize all the different types of acids building up in your engine. Some of my iron may in fact be secondary to the acid effects. I believe that TAN is much better than TBN for really seeing what is happening in your engine.
The only other value on my report was Soot = 0.
Both cars use the OEM parts all the way, except me, when it comes to the oil.
I use YourOil for basic testing as it is cheaper. When I need to really know what is going on I use DysonAnalysis. You may pay more with Dyson but you get much more in return.
