sweet,what did they charge you to analyze the oil you sent , is there a kit they ship to you to send the oil in? high sylicone, lol yeah, from all the silicon you used on that ****!!!!

well sometimes high silicone also means its due from bad air filtering. its 25bucks they send u a free kit.

Link is down.

I know you know this, but posting it anyways for others. On a VQ I wouldn't worry about silicone content for a long time, considering a motor build requires at least two entire tubes of the stuff.

Great post here - now I'll copy you and go to the same place for the oil testing. They service Canada too I believe. Streetz which value in your list is the ZDDP - it's not the Zinc alone is it? I wonder how to calculate % Weight from that data.

Thanx, I will be doing another analysis after this current oil. I have some track time in this oil as well, but its to soon to change it. I am interested to see how the results differ now that I am using full synthetic Rotella T6.

Silicone and Silicon are not the same thing. While silicone contains silicon, silicone is a sealant, whereas silicon itself is what makes up sand and dust.

High silicon content (notice it says silicon on the oil report, not silicone) could be a result of bad filtration, aluminum casting issues (our intake manifolds for instance are sand cast aluminum).

Excellent report.

Here is my latest report, the previous one showed very high Chrome, but looks like it was either a lab thing, or something:

was this the old Rotella T Synthetic like it says on the report or the newer named Rotella T6 Synthetic?

The reason I ask is that I have heard that the new T6 Synthetic has less zinc than it did when it was just called Rotella T Synthetic, and your oil report shows a good bit less zinc than the previous two (16% less than your previous change and 10% less than the one before that).

So far all my reports consist of Just T6. Now is when i went with regular T non synthetic for higher visc
