2000 Nissan Maxima with 185,000 miles, 5500 miles on oil, Na 199, K 9, TBN 1.5
One and only UOA has high sodium and potassium(?) so I am concerned if there could be a head gasket problem. Car runs well with oil color good (not milky), no exhaust smoke, runs at ideal engine temperature...
About 1-2 cups of engine coolant needs to be added every month or two.
Oil that was used
Having trouble placing image of UOA and do not see how to attach file.

I plan watch coolant level, engine temperature, oil color, change oil at 4000 miles and get UOA at that time.
Currently I do not plan to have coolant system pressure or emissions from cooling system checked.
Any thoughts?
