Here is my first test. If anyone else has comments, they are welcomed.



Sodium is EXTREMELY high but they say that it is an addative Mobil uses. Has anyone else used Mobil Clean 7500 Synthetic Blend, and noticed high sodium. Also, my antifreeze levels are always fine and I have never had to add any.

Got my third analysis back. Lead is still high, which is pissing me off. I'm a little worried I'm going to have that dreadful *knock* noise coming from a spun bearing one of these days.

Cool, I got my first analysis back. Not cool: looks like I have bearing wear.



I'm gonna do another sample after 2,000 miles.

Hey what do you know... more bearing wear! Yeah...

Anyone know if a thicker oil would help with that?

Do magnets attract lead?

I just put one in the previous oil change! Thought it might help but I guess not. I'm going to give it 3-4k this time before I change it and then I might try some german castrol synthetic if I can find it. Supposed to be a little thicker.

Hey... they aren't as bad as some others here. Not great either. The engine is probably on it's way to a spun bearing eventually (usual H23 cause of death) but I think it's a long way off. This engine only has about 70,000 miles on it (rebuilt engine). I just want it to get me through one more year or so.

Anyone still doing this? I am thinking of sending them a cold sample from a Euro R motor I just got. Not sure if that is the best idea. Might wait until it is in the Lude and running.
