2001 SUBARU OUTBACK H-6 EZ30 4EAT
from blackstone;
the wear levels in your outbacks sample line up nicely with universal averages for this type of Subaru 3.0l flat-six engine, and they're based on a similar 6k mile interval, so it's a good apples to apples comparison. There's a little extra fuel in the oil (shown by the low flashpoint), but 1.8% is below the cautionary limit, so it's nothing to worry about. It didnt thin viscosity out of spec. The 4.3 TBN shows plenty of active additive left in the used oil, so you could go longernext time if you want to (7k miles). But this interval obviously works too !
I got a pre code p0420 which has been coming up off and on for 18 months but never an official code, my ultagauge just sees it as a potential code. It official turned into a P0420 code with check engine about 3 months ago, just before I took this sample. I cleared the code and it since hasnt come back, but I am sure this excess fuel is tied into it so if any of the experts would like to chime in I wouls very much appreciate your thoughts
ps I copied and pasted as asked for posting UOA and the [censored] thing still took all the spaces out
