Im confused. What are the designations of the columns?? What is the total milage on this oil?? You talked about the first sample.

If it only has 1500 KM's on it the numbers are pretty high.

Sorry about the confusion.

The First set of numbers(left) had 6664 KM's on the oil.

The Second set of numbers(right) had 8200 KM's on the same oil + 3/4L Dino top-up and a bottle of fuel injector cleaner used.

I recall that you had a bit of a problem with fuel dilution. That doesn't seem to have worsened. It's hard to tell whether you've solved it until you change the oil and sample again. I'm betting you'll have a good report next time.

Looks like the fuel injector cleaner helped with the fuel dilution problem, but I also noticed a few wear metals going down?

Could the injector cleaner have skewed my results?

Must have been me.

Anyway it sure looks like you are headed in the right direction. Dilution and viscosity are up. I'd be happy with it

I think more likely that it's lab variation.
