Oil Analysis NEW THINKING ?
I was thinking last night about this analysis & came up with the following conclusion. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
I went 6,926 miles between oil changes. The data base average was 1,390 miles. SO, I had 4.98273381294 times the average miles on my sample. For this problem I rounded up to 5x's the miles on my oil sample compared to average. I then took the average variables & multiplied by 5 to see where my analysis would fall. I posted the results below; Oil analysis for this unit: Aluminum 25 Chromium 2 Iron 88 Copper 25 Lead 4 Molybdenum 9 Silicon 10 Calcium 3191 Magnesium 11 Phosphorus 1110 Zinc 1355 Universal averages: Aluminum 7 x 5 = 35 Chromium 1 x 5 = 5 Iron 14 x 5 = 70 Copper 7 x 5 = 35 Lead 2 x 5 = 10 Molybdenum 27 x 5 = 135 Silicon 6 x 5 = 30 Calcium 1524 x 5 = 7620 Magnesium 418 x 5 = 740 Phosphorus 992 x 5 = 4960 Zinc 1208 x 5 =6040 As you can see, my numbers are quite lower when you multiply the data base by 5. Am I wrong to assume that the Rotella synthetic did it's job over the life span of 6926 miles? Login or Register to Remove Ads |
