2008 Chevy Impala V6 3,5L w 4 quart sump, 109,844 miles at time of change, Bosch Filter 3423 was double stinted and had a total of 12,200 miles at time of change



Car was mostly short tripped w the occasional highway run. Oil run was 6 1/2 months - 1 qt makeup oil added during the run. No issues w car other than slight RMS leak which the MaxLife red bottle improved. UOA states it's Full Synth which is wrong - it's the Blend.

Looks good

Oil is still in grade for a 5W30 (KV100 = 10.3 cSt)
TBN is fine after 7200 miles at 2.7 (+ 1 Qt top up)
Zinc is close to the ILSAC max at 837 ppm
And low iron wear numbers at 19 ppm

MaxLife syn-blend always performs well and letting that filter stay in for a second round (12,200 miles) has caused no problems.

Nice report.
