Sample was read by Carter CAT labs.
I sampled 10,000 miles ago and was told that the engine might have a small coolent leak or maybe the oils add pack was high in sodium. I changed oil brands to Napa blue bottle conventional and sampled after two changes. They didn't see signs of a leak so I'm guessing it was the previous oil's add pack.

This oil being made/blended by Ashland(Valvoline) uses sodium as part of their additive package

The previous oil used was the one in question for it's add pack. I'll check tomorrow to see which numbers they were worried about and repost. The old oil was Wolf's head 5w20 syn blend.

Ok and I do not know what wolfs head add pack uses; I'll check on PQIA


Thank you for posting this UOA sir

Thank you spasm3

Just looked and it does NOT use sodium as part of their additive pack

PQIA really spanked Amalie Oil Co for their false and misleading label didn't they....

It looks like NAPA will be good to at least 7,500 miles in your Expedition under current conditions.

Those are some really low oxidation and nitration numbers. You could easily run this oil much longer.

I checked the old report today and it was positive for Glycol and the sodium count was 342. My local Napa has sales on this conventional store branded oil regularly for $1.99 a quart. I 'll pick up some for my next change.

Where are the high wear numbers the thick oil guys are fearful of?

He actually used Napa 20W50,that's why his wear numbers are so low. He only said it was 5W20 to play a gag on us!

Haha just kidding

I couldn't resist!

Yeah,that's an AWESOME uoa! Good ole Valvoline (clone)! Was this the conventional? My apologies if I missed it someplace in the thread.
