PYB 5w30 + Kreen - 2,554 - 1998 Toyota Camry V6

[Artem]

Here's an analysis of a 2,554 mile run of PYB 5w30 along with a quart of Kreen @ 16oz doses roughly 1,000 miles apart.

I only did this UOA to check and make sure that the Kreen and previous runs with Auto-RX weren't hurting the engine wear wise. Of course long term engine health will be something that the next owner will have to deal with as I plan to sell the car @ 300k.

All previous runs were of Amsoil OE 5w30.

I would quit the Kreen and just use whatever oil you feel like using. I know you know what you are doing though...I think

Do we get any VC pics????

Pretty much as you'd expect with any additive of this type, viscosity and TBN have taken a hit, but everything is absolutely peachy anyway.

Probably why additive "cleaning runs" are best left to 3k or less though.

Sort of proves running Kreen for 1K wont harm the engine.

I asked Blackstone to run the TAN as I forgot to ask for it in the form. Figured I'd post the updated report.
