Vehicle 2011 Chevy Cruze 1.4 Turbo
Miles on unit 30924
Miles on oil 6619
Oil Added - NONE
This UOA was done by ALS Labs from a $14 NAPA UOA kit.
The OLM read 36% when changed but the early Cruzen had the optimistic OLM and this was 10 year old oil so I didn't want to go past 6 months just in case.
I ran this oil from 12/22/13 until 6/15/14 with a decent mix of highway and in town driving. Not too many trips less than 10 miles.

COOLANT NO
Visc. 10.6
Base# mgKo/g 4.7
I'm assuming the Base# correlates to TBN and that I could have run this a bit further?
The numbers seem to be in line with other UOAs of the 1.4T and it doesn't look like the
10 years in my stash did any harm....Comments...Thanks.
