hey guys,
i just got the results of an oil test on my Nissan Patrol GU4 4.2 and while the diagnosis is normal i was wondering if someone can decipher and break it down a little more for me. i recently returned from an outback Queensland loop, did 4300km of mostly black top driving in quite hot conditions (40c+), i did an oil and filter change the day before leaving using delo 400 and ryco Z503 filters. i read a post before i went on the trip that stated that if not a drop of oil is consumed between services that a test should be done to see if there is an above normal fuel dilution, i have never had to add oil ever between changes at around 5000km but had the test done out of curiosity more than anything.
thanks guys
jamie
