Still haven't given up? How much money trying to fix this?

 

Not as much as a new one.

Hopefully he's keeping a running tab and stopping short of $34K then.

HPL SuperCar 5w40 out, M1 5w50 SuperCar in. It’s on a short leash but it’s cheap. And hey, it may surprise me. Good enough for a new Z06…

Latest test results. I actually undershot the mileage vs what I posted and sent the lab by 81 miles so I had to correct the document. Doh.

What is confusing about the reply? Or was it that results where none was detected was given a dash instead of a zero? 

 

So my question was, did they miss one not on that list you would find useful? It's the same list you provided when  you tested.

I think the dash = not tested, but I am constantly confused anymore.

Look back on his spreadsheet to test #1 where they indicate no aluminum detected with a dash and has been 2 ppm since and most recent 3PPM.  Pretty sure it means "O"
