This is the first UOA of my skyactiv 3. I bought the car with 15k on the odometer. This UOA sample was taken at 22,000 miles. The oil was not changed. No makeup oil. OEM air filter and oil filter. Lab was SOS out of Wichita KS via loca CAT rep.
Oil will be changed at 7.5k with PP 0W-20.
TBN will be added soon and hopefully flash point & fuel content. Not that it matters, though, it is quite apparent fuel dilution is not an issue for me and this DI engine. I honestly think the reason for low fuel dilution is using exclusively premium gasoline. This engine is designed to enrich the A/F ratio to cool the combustion chamber and prevent knocking. I think the premium allows the ECU to lean out the ratio.
