here's my last oil analysis:

aluminum 3
chromium 1
iron 23
copper 6
lead 2
tin 0

cSt viscosity at 100C 10.18
insolubles 0.3%

what was my change interval? bonus points for the brand of oil.

Okay, *my* last oil analysis shows:

aluminum 2
chromium 1
iron 6
copper 1
lead <1
tin 1

cSt viscosity at 100C 8.9
insolubles <no figure>

what was my change interval? bonus points for the brand of oil and the
lab which did the analysis. <vbg>
