A rather boring UOA but the first on this car. Only thing that bothers me a bit is the oil didn't stay in grade, but the protection is still there.
"Almost" every UOA of 30 weight that I have seen ends up as a 20 weight in this version of the K24.
10W/30 ATM is in the car now it will be interesting to see if it still is a 30 weight at the end of the OCI
Code:
2013 civic SI K24Z7, Hondata Flashpro custom tune, AFE Pro Dry air filter.
Your air filtration system is doing a good job, as seen by the 16 ppm of silicon in this sample.
Universal averages show typical wear for this type of engine after about 6,900 miles of oil use. You kept this
oil in place a little longer and most metals are in line with averages. Lead is a bit higher and that could show
bearing wear, but this engine probably has aluminum bearings, so maybe it's from an octane booster or
"unleaded" track fuel, if any were used. Let's just see how it trends.
The viscosity read in the 0W/20 range and the TBN was strong at 4.1. Try 10,000 miles
No make up oil.
