First oil analysis on my new to me ATV. Oil was not changed, wanted to get a baseline after putting 50+hrs and 1yr on the calendar to see what kind of shape things were in.

Blackstone Comments:
This oil was in the engine for just slightly more than a year, but that didn't seem to cause any problems. We typically find that it's the miles/hours on the oil that matters, not the time on the calendar, and these results support that. This was a 56-hour oil run, and that's probably a bit longer than average (most of the samples we've seen were tracking miles, and the average mileage on the oil was only about 600 miles), but whatever the case, everything looks good here. The trace of fuel isn't an issue, and the TBN is strong at 8.1. Add 25-50 hours and check back.
