COMMENTS

This 0W/30 oil was in use 28,336 km and most wear metals and silicon were high. The high wear is from
new parts breaking-in plus the very long oil change. Silicon is from sand-casted parts plus lubes/sealers
used at the factory. Soot levels were high due to the long oil run. The oil's TBN was 1.9, showing very little
active additive left in the oil. This much metal makes the oil too abrasive for use. Suggest a 15,000 km oil
run & check back. Lots of this stuff will wash out.
