High soot vs lousy oil

[widman]

Just thought some might like to see the combination of a local oil made by Petrobras that claims to be CI-4 with poor combustion control. Its a 2002 Toyota pickup with a 2.8 liter diesel.

I am surprised the wear metals are as low as they are with the soot so high.

Holy Soot Batman!
I thought anything over about 4-5 was horrid for soot?

 

[Gurkha]

And I thought OM616/617 are sooty, this one puts em to shame.

I'm not sure about the 5k-mile OCI, but the wear metals are low. Does this engine burn diesel or HSD bunker oil?

 

[widman]

Regular diesel
