2016 Volvo V60CC 95K/5.3K Castrol EP 5w30

[Kupplung]

Has the 2.5L 5cyl. The turbo has been a bit whiny lately . Let's see what the next one brings. Will probably send to 2 labs as well.

Nothing to be worried about. Your report looks great! Some virgin oil samples have 4 ppm of aluminum so I wouldn't worry about 8 ppm.
How long your turbo has been whiny?

 

[fantastic]

You thinking the turbo is causing the spike in Al? Everything else looks real good for the run.

Barely any aluminum. You could try 0/5w-40 if you want.

Good point, just looked through some VOAs and didn't find EP but other Castrol 5-30s had 2 ppm. It's seemed whiny since April. I say seemed because nothing scientific about it. Could just be me finally noticing a normal sound.

Yes, but not based on much except my perceived noise.

Plan was to move to 0w-40 when my stash of 0w-30 is done.

Thanks all!

My wife's ecoboost turbo had a little whine as well. BG EPR flush took care of that issue as it cleans the turbo as well.
