[QUOTE="Jefe, post: 8758331, member: 41358"] I emailed them these questions yesterday: Might you be able to shed some light on why the Calc, Magn, and Phos are so high? And why Iron, Copper, Moly, Boron, Silicon, and Sodium are that low compared to averages? This is all new to me. Just got this back: Calcium, magnesium, boron, sodium, etc are detergent/dispersant additives that keep stuff in suspension in the oil so that it can be filtered out. Moly, phosphorus, and zinc are anti-wear additives. Sodium, potassium, and silicon can show coolant in oil, though silicon can also be from harmless grease, lube, or ant-foaming additive in an oil. Different oil types and grades use different configurations of these chemical additive levels. Our averages are specifically from samples from the Ford 4.6L DOHC engine, so the averages for most of the additive levels might vary considerably from those in your sample, but that's normal. The top metals on the chart are from parts wearing, so if copper and iron read lower than average, it means corresponding parts inside your engine are wearing better than average. I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us. Regards Steve Zulkowski Already had this expensive German Castrol waiting to go in hoping it might fix the tick(wishful thinking) but not the case. Oh well, Ive seen Blackstone reports where they state you can go 5k-6k miles before changing it with the Castrol [/QUOTE]
