Just got the test back with my Amsoil 5w30 3000 oil.
iron 64 slightly high
chromium 1
nickel 0
alum 5
copper 30
lead 18
tin 3
cadmium 0
silicon 19
sodium 7
potassium 7
molybdenum 2
boron 1
magnsium 31 Flagged as adnormally high but not serious
calcium 3624
phosphorous 1110
zinc 1402
fuel. .4%
soot .4%
water .1%
vis@100c 12.8
tbn 3.8
oxida 14
nitra 20
I just thought I would write in to let anyone interested know. Imho this shows we change oil way too often. I always thought it was [censored] so I decided to prove it to myself. I have about 5qts. of oil added in 46k mi. and changed the Amsoil filters 3 times @ 0 mi.,@ 18k, 33k. Has anyone ever gone this long without a bypass? Just wondering is this was pushing it. Later, ihookem.
