Do you think that a good analysis? And whether or not to stay in this range, or can it be increased?

 

[Gabe]

The oil looks impressive and seems to be a good fit for the Kia.

TBN under TAN just after 7500 km ? Do you have fuel dilution ? I don't see it on the UOA.

 

[Eddie]

Good for her. She at least mentioned a possible problem. Hubby fell down on his end and any grief falls on him.. Ed

 

[Rand]

you normally dont use TAN on engine oil.. thats normal IMO.

 

[miniac007]

Of course you use it...

I did two analyzes of this sample in two different laboratories. One in the city of Tyumen (Russia), the second forwarded to Germany, to the laboratory oelchek. In the laboratory of the Russian fuel content really is not specified, but a German laboratory indicated fuel content 1.5%.
I have only one thought about the content of the fuel - chip tuning the engine. No default firmware gives the fuel content in the oil, and, as a consequence, large amounts of soot and other byproducts.

There is another test with the same car, he preceded it, the oil is poured Valvoline Synpower 5W40 (European). Will post later.

I think you should use an oil with a better TBN retention, and less sensitive to fuel dilution and its effect on TBN drop of 8.8 to 3.22 in 7500 km. Maybe HDEO 5w30 CJ-4 ?

we tested Idemitsu ZEPRO Diesel 5W40 with TBN 16 and sulfate ash 2, propose to use it? : D

Should be a ACEA E4/CF this one ? I think you should not use those high ash oils with cat and EGR. You have an EGR on Kia ? I run high ash oils on my volvo but no EGR.

A test with a CI-4/CJ-4/ACEA E6/E7 low ash whould be better in my opinion.

Like Addinol Professional 0530 E6, Meguin 5W-30 Premium Truck LA, Meguin 5W-30 UHPD Low Ash. I dont know what you can find in Russia at a good price...

Addinol 537 is about 5€/l in Germany, HDEO 5w30 should be at 6-7€/l
