Lubricant Analysis Report

[JLovas]

I got my first oil sample back from Geno's prepaid oil analysis sample bottles. Wish I had started this from day one. Anyone care to comment or compare with their samples. My pickup does a fair amount of idling/stop and go driving and was pleased to see a low fuel dilution number.



Sample #1 was the oil from the crankcase with 278 hrs/ 6,200 miles. Sample #2 is brand new oil. Lifetime totals for pickup are 5,611 hrs and 126,000 miles. Fuel injectors are still original.

I would like to see what you have here. I am very interested. Just can't make it all out><

You should have been able to go further with this oil since the viscosity was still in grade, and all the contaminants were low. As far as comparing your report with other engines, it isn't really advisable, as each engine is going to have differing rates of wear, and oil analysis will vary due to many different ways of drawing the oil for sampling. To get good continueing results, one must take the samples from the same spot each and every time a sample is taken. There are also many other varibles which would make it difficult to try and compare one engine with another, even if they are the same brand.
