Mobil 1 5W20 / 2003 CR-V 10k OCI

[rhhsiao]

Took the sample almost a year ago using a Wix oil analysis kit but kept putting off sending it in. This is the GF's car and sees about 70/30 hwy/city driving. Prior run was Valvoline conventional which explains the sodium. Everything looks pretty good to me. Filter was a Fram Ultra 7317. I can probably extend Mobil 1 further in her car, but alas I have no more. Currently has Valvoline conventional again due to Autozone clearance at $1/qt. Once it's used up, I've got some Vavoline Synpower as well as Pennzoil Platinum waiting in the wings.

I was gonna say why are you running conventional this time of year but then I noticed you live LA so that's not really a factor.

Lucky! The "Real Feel" here today was -7.

Balmy 74F today.

I'm also currently running a conventional 10W-30 in my '01 V8 Tundra.

Yeah copper is a bit high. Did some digging and Blackstone puts the average at 3PPM but I'm not worried.

Her father took in the car for a "tune-up" at the dealership a few years back before I took over maintenance. Her spark plugs were changed but not sure about any valve adjustment. I've previously asked for the paperwork but she isn't sure where she put them.
