Anyone see anything out of the ordinary? I thought it looked pretty good for 170.000 miles and over 5K on the oil. I was running Shell Rotella T "synthetic" in 5W-40 with a NAPA Gold filter. About one quart was added over that interval due to drips, mostly from the front crank seal.

Oil report ????That looks like my report card from the 9th grade. I didn't understand that either.Damn it, Jim ; I'm a driver, not a science officer!That may be all well & good.But I drive 2 vehicles w/ well over 200,000 miles on them & have never had to subject my oil to anything like that.What kind of communist state is that ?Kudos & congratulations my brother,But if I had to have an oil report I'd seriously consider changing my zip code.

It was worth the (small amount) of money.

Don't let them get you down John, I also do oil analysis. One day there will be, "Revenge Of The Oil Geeks". <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Your report comes pretty close to one of mine last year with 136,500 miles. I don't do TBN any more (extra $10) as I have already used it to determined my oil and change intervals. I will say that an earlier report showed excess fuel in the oil and it prompted me to send the injectors out for test/repair - now fuel levels are within spec.
