Hi All, had my oil changed recently and took the chance to send a sample off to Millers (very fast service by the way)
Its come back and to be honest I could do with some help interpreting the results. The only comment they made was 'advise change due to fuel dilution'
The wear metals came back as follows (all ppm)
Chrome 1
Nickel 1
Tin 1
Boron 101 (which is the fuel from what I can gather)
Iron 11
Molybdenum 40
Silicon 3
Aluminium 5
Copper 3
Sodium 6
When I smelt the oil before sending off it did smell a bit 'fuely' Any ideas on cause of this?
I think this verifies that 2 year oil changes should be ignored and done yearly. Which I will be doing from now!
