This is my first "real" analysis. The reason I say real is because the last oil change only had 1,319 miles on it. I did an oil change and did a rod bearing replacement shortly thereafter so I wouldn't read into the previous oil report.
I did rod bearings at 89,292miles. I switched to VAC/Calico rod bearings and ARP2000 bolts. Also switched to Liqui-Moly 10W-60 at the bearing change. The last year I've been commuting a short distance of 3miles each way so for the most part, the engine doesn't get to optimal temperature by the time I get to work/home. Oil sample also has 3 autocross events (12 laps per event).
Here is my bearing post: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showpos...&postcount=173
Does the TBN mean I can use this oil a little longer? I don't really plan on it as switching every 7.5k miles isn't too bad. |
I'm jealous about you guys getting lower than average aluminum count. Mine are above average for 2 consecutive runs... Although looks like not high enough to call for action though... Will probably continue to wait and see...
