Greetings Everyone:
My Blackstone report came back on the wife's van and lead is high. They are saying the bearings are wearing......they commented about it in the report and that can't be good. Is this something I should be alarmed about? What can I do to change it for the better? Is the engine going downhill? I have run Amsoil SS 5W-30 the last two fills along with an Ea oil filter; one year OCI both times. This fill I put Liqui Moly 5W-30, an Ultra filter and a can of the LM Friction Reducer - MoS2.
I am a bit put off by the high lead. My Sentra has 70,xxx and has no issues like the van with lead according to the last UOA. The VQ engine in the van is supposed to be a solid engine - or so I thought.
I also noticed a big difference in TBN from the last sample to this one. This sample had 459 less miles but it looks to be a lot more of the additive pack left.
Please provide any feedback and analysis you might have.
