Oil analysis

[Evgeni]

Just thought I would post up my oil test results. I am going to get some test done to see what the oil looks like at each drain interval and I will look at extending the drain if I can.
Car is an AU series 3 with an impco after market LPG system. It is run mainly on gas. ODO reading is 324683kms at the time of change.
Oil used was Penrite 15w60 changed with 15181kms on it.
Pretty impressed, especially with a TBN reading of 9.9. I could have kept it in for another 15000km!
Not to worried about the fact that they flagged the viscosity - it actually lost some viscosity over the drain period. The Penrite spec sheet says the virgin oil should be 184cst @ 40 degrees C and 25.1cst @ 100 degrees.

I've put Penrite HPR gas in at the moment so will post back after another 15000kms.


Viscosity @ 40 is at 147cst please check oil grade. Wear and contamination within acceptable levels. Continue to monitor.
