wow your molybdenum is crazy low. i guess that's good. also, why is your flashpoint so low?

very interesting. ill have to look into this if i start trying different brands of oil.

edit: where do you go to get this done RJ?

- Andy - 12-08-2004

I got my free kit on the way.

- Mike - 12-08-2004

Blackstone labs (Just like it says on that paper...). Its like 20 or 25 bucks iirc. Go to their website to order a free kit to ship them your oil in.

TOPIC BACK FROM THE DEAD!

Just out of curiosity, did oil samples on my 318 and Jess' Accord. Both with Silkolene 5W-40. The 318 with probably two track events and 5600 miles, on it's first run of synth since the motor was broken in. The Accord with 13500 miles Confusedhock:, with a filter change around 6k. First #'s are "clean" oil #'s I found elsewhere, 2nd is the 318, 3rd is the Accord

(Al)Aluminum 0 7 3
(Cr)Chromium 0 4 0 <---318 piston rings still breaking in a bit
(Fe)Iron 2 29 19 <---maybe more break in? Accord a little high too?
(Cu)Copper 0 9 3
(Pb)Lead 3 13 54 <---Accord # a little high, but regular gas also has high lead apparently
(Sn)Tin 0 3 3
(Mo)Molybdenum 1 6 5
(Ni)Nickel 0 0 0
(Mn)Manganese 0 1 0
(Si)Silver 0 9 15
(Ti)Titanium 0 0 0
(K)Potassium 0 1 0
(B)Boron 325 326 125 <---Additives
(Si)Silicon 2 9 15
(Na)Soduim 3 9 2
(Ca)Calcium 2724 2674 3117 <---Additives
(Mg)Magnesium 28 27 24 <---Additives
(P)Phosphorus 917 933 1082 <---Additives
(Zn)Zinc 1212 1002 1172 <---Additives
(Ba)Barium 0 1 0 <---Additives

Both samples also showed:
Fuel 0.5
Water 0.0

I don't know a freakin thing about oil analysis other than what I learned here:

http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/whatisoilanalysis.htm

They have some guys on their forum that know way too much as well, I'll see what they think of my #'s. Overall, I'm pretty happy, maybe I'll push the Accord to 15k. Looks like 5k is more than safe for mine. Oh, and the sample kit I used is from Fleetguard. Very basic analysis, but if anyone wants one, I can get 'em to you for like $15 at the most.

- Dave - 01-13-2006

I'm getting ready to send in my analysis for the SE-R next week after my oil change this weekend :-D

- HAULN-SS - 01-13-2006

wow...is all that really necessary? no metal filings or antifreeze = good enough

- BLINGMW - 01-13-2006

maybe not, but it's educational!

saaaaayyyy.... that's pretty neat, try the first little oil change calculator halfway down this page:

back from the dead...

after this track weekend, i'm gonna see if zinging my motor on the misshift did anything bad. i just wanted to bring this thread back in case anyone else that drove this weekend wanted to see what was up

- ScottyB - 04-03-2006

i'll be sending a sample of my amsoil in to see if it was worth the $$. i'm trying to decide if i stick with that or keep rocking the M1 0-40

Perhaps I should try this out.

If you don't change your timing belt Blackstone Labs is going to list "valves" in your report.

Do you think the timing belt can take 750 or so miles?

- Mike - 12-27-2006

a timing belt is nothing to test.

- ViPER1313 - 12-28-2006

Are you talking about timing belt replacement exactly at 60k miles??? Its a good idea if you enjoy your engine, but 750 miles wont kill you. Hell, the timing belt in my fathers 92' Dodge Shadow lasted 130k miles over the course of 5 or 6 years (non-interference so he let it go.)

In all fairness... it might, and it might not. Like Mike said, on an interference motor it's nothing to take chances with.
