Here's the results from my oil analysis. Comments?
+++++++++
Vehicle: 2K2 New Beetle 1.9 TDI
Time on Oil: 5,000 miles
Time on Unit: 5,000 miles
Spectrochemical Analysis all values ppm
Iron: 111
Chromium; 5
Lead: 35
Copper: 28
Aluminum: 30
Nickel: 11
Silver: 0
Silicon: 26
Boron: 5
Sodium: 10
Magnesium: 25
Calcium: 3406
Barium: 0
Phosphorus: 1005
Zinc: 1227
Molybdenum: 1
Titanium: 0
Vanadium: 0
Potassium: 0
Physical Properties:
Fuel: Vis @40C cSt: N/A
VIS @100C cSt: 9.78
Water: 0%
Soot/solids: 0.2 %VOL
Glycol: Neg
Additional Tests:
TBN: 6.46
Oxid: N/A
Nitr: N/A
F-Soot: 0.20
Change: Yes
Analysis Recommendations:
Note: Aluminum level appears to be high. Wear metals appear to be high - possible from normal break-in. Recommend resample at normal interval.
++++++++++
Analysis was done by OAI. Vehicle is driven mostly city mileage; 40% CARB D-2 diesel; 60% Arco ECD-1 ULSD. Oil was the factory fill; looking at the manufacturing date, looks like the oil was in the crankcase for almost 12 months.
