Ok guys heres my first test of the tdi. Wetterauer chip installed at 20k, I run the Oilguard bypass filter, b100 fuel exclusively aside from 2 tanks of b20 during this 10k.
Oil analyzers/ctc lab
Delvac 1
10,200 miles on oil
30,200 on vehicle at test time.
Spectrochemical
Iron 43
chromium 3
lead 1
copper 6
tin 9 or possibly 0, the fax is a bit blurry, but I believe 9
aluminum 5
nickel 1
silver again, 9 or 0, looks like a 9
Silicon 7 (stock paper filter)
boron 106
sodium 2
magnesium 550
calcium 2544
barium 0
phosphorus 1233
zinc 1317
moly, titanium, vanadium, and potassium all zero.
Physical Properties
fuel vis @100c 14.13
water 0
soot/solids 0.9%
Glycol negative
Additional tests
TBN 7.21
Oxid 11.0
nitr 13.0
f-soot 0.27
Ok Oil gurus, have at it...please let me know what you think. Whats the difference between f-soot and soot/solids? Do we think the tbn really depleted all the way to 7.2 or is this the characteristic problem with CTC's analyses, as has been mentioned previously.....?
