At least you put the plug in before you filled it . 

 

The TBN/TAN numbers in this post are for the diesel in the last post, correct? 

 

 

No, for the 1.4 turbo in my daughters Cruze.

Did you use a different oil this time or was there a formulation change? (Large Calcium/Magnesium ratio change)

This is a new oil from AMSOIL for my application.  It came out with the new oil for the 3.0 diesel in the 1500's.  It seems it is a really good oil and cleans really well.  My nitration has never been so low in a long time.

I still use Terry.  Just had a few of Oil Analyzers kits so I thought I would use one.

2,000 mile OCI

14 ounce of makeup oil this interval for a usage rate of 1qt : 4,571 miles

Very close to last change. No worse is good. 

 

4.21875 quarts Kirkland 5W30

27 ounces TRIAX S-7 This is a 5:1 ring cleaning ratio. 

No filter change. With such short OCI's about ever third change will be just fine. 

 

Book may say 5 quart capacity but it takes a bit more to reach the full mark.

Dennis, do they offer FTIR, KF water testing, and GC fuels dilute?  I know ALS can run them but wondering if they would for you.  That 2 ppm of Cr is ring alloy and should not be above 1 ppm for this engine even at low miles.  Might be worth it to get those readings even if it costs a few bucks.
