Based on that screw up, I've began questioning the report in this thread in regards to the Pb wear metal and cSt at 100C. They are going to re-run the viscosity and wear metal tests to confirm original results. The V6 Accord looked as you guys expected with Pb at 6 and cSt 100C at 10.4.

I'll post the V6 Accord analysis up in a separate thread.

I may need to find a new lab.


But not necessarily a different oil. With Pb @ 6 that's a real good report!

Really now, jarvk22, and you know this how? Are you a mind reader? Have you used Terry's service before and had him offer his interpretation on this particular motor with high lead? Otherwise, you are just assuming.

Terry will explain why your lead is high.
