For short trips it seems to have done well, tbn was 5.1. How short are your trips?

looks good.

Looks pretty good. I have the 1.8 in mine so my uoa's aren't any good. I'm not sure you have a cooler in yours. Mine doesn't.

What do you mean they aren't any good?

 

[abycat]

for comparison I meant. I have a mr18de Renault engine in mine. He has the 1.6 and it is di as well. Mine is mpfi.

3.5 miles about 6 per day, 21 miles total.

Aby, it has a small heat exchanger at the base of the oil filter and it too has mpfi, 2 injectors per cylinder.

it does? I thought it didn't. That's cool. I was thinking the dd had them. like the jukes engine. Oh two per cylinder means it's the new Nissan tech doesn't it? I never really checked out the 1.6 cause my car has the 1.8 maybe I should!

Same oil I use in the Subaru.

Your UOA looks good to me, and it's hard to top that additive package in the Kendall GT-1 oils.

Technically, the lab should have placed titanium in the additive list; it's an additive here and not a wear metal.

UOA looks great to me. Oil had plenty left. I like the phrase "Last 1,000mi were in cool weather with 10-20F starts." 10-20F = "cool"? Better you than me dude - I'd shrivel up and die living up there.
