Red Roadster's first oil analysis....

[racerbruce]

Arrived today from Blackstone Labs -

Miles on Z4MR: 65K
Miles on oil: 3,325

Results (Results/Universal Averages)
Aluminum: 4/4
Iron: 8/10
Copper: 4/8
Lead: 8/5
Tin: 0/1
Molybdenum: 211/81
SUS Viscosity @ 210F: 92.8/80-100

Blackstone's comments were "we're pretty excited about the way your Red Roadster's first report turned out".

It appears all bearing related readings are normal. It is my understanding that the Molybdenum reading is additives from the oil manufacturer. Blackstone commented that the SUS Viscosity reading "the Castrol TWS kept its viscosity in the 10W/60 range and out test didn't find any harmful contamination to speak of".

For those that have performed oil analysis, please offer your thoughts on the Red Roadster's first results - thank you.
