Daihatsu DM950D Engine

Submitting for a friend. Around ~800hrs had an issue where engine would not crank. Were told the crankshaft was cracked. Had it replaced between these two samples. Assuming unknown oil is Ac Delco 10w40 which is what their local shop prefers, but not certain. New fill was done with Amsoil AFF.

I think AC Delco oil is made by ExxonMobil and it does use a Sodium based add-pack for their conventional oils like Mobil Clean 5000. So the high sodium might just be from the oil.
