Hi
In another thread I said I was concerned about the many short journeys my Jeep made and its effect on the Oil so I had it tested.
I sent a sample of my Oil away for analysis. My analysis was not as comprehensive as your Blackstone ones but I will type in what I can and would welcome any comments. The company that did the analysis was Millers in UK. Not sure if you lads have heard of them.
Oil was in vehicle 6 months and covered 4000 miles. PETRONAS Syntium 5w/30
Density @ 15.5c (g/ml) 0.855
Viscocity @ 100c (cSt) 12.00 cSt
Calcium (%) 0.261
Zinc (%) 0.119
Wear Metals in ppm
Cr 1
Pb 0
Ni 1
Sn 0
B 60
Fe 28
Mo 5
Si 9
V 0
Al 4
Cu 2
Na 10
Analysis reveals Oil to be in good condition and suitable for further use. We would advise change at 12 months.( Millers comment)
Any comments from the Forum most welcome.
