Engine oil analysis results 850 94

posted by  someone claiming to be Stephen on  Thu Aug 19 05:07 CST 1999 [RELATED]

I recently got the oil from my car analyzed but I have no benchmark with which to compare my results. Has anyone else done this and if so I'd be interested to see the results. Here are mine:

94 854T, 126 kkm, 8300km on oil, Mann filter, Canadian Tire (Pennzoil?) 5W30 Synthetic.

Aluminum 2 ppm

Cromium 0

Copper 7

Iron 14

Tin 0

Lead 1

Silicon 11

Molybdem 1

Ni 1

Ag 0

K 0

Na 18

Boron 0

Barium 17

Ca 1951

Mg 339

Mn 83

P 839

Zn 1210

No glycol, no water, 0% fuel, Viscosity @ 40C 53.2, @100C 9.6

The interesting part is the oil degradation. Total Acid Number of new oil is 2.9. Oil should be changed at about 5.8 but the results showed 3.3 which the guy at the lab said indicated the oil was almost new and I could easily run 20k km between changes. I'll stick to 8k km changes. Synthetic works.
