Just curious, I sent my 15w 40 full synthetic Amsoil in for an oil analysis after 11000 miles and the report came back bad. Basically an F.
0 being oil is like new to 4 being engine can be damaged from this oil. It cam back a 4.
I was led to believe this high end oil is "better" than the average stuff. This is the write up below, I also have all the teck specs.
My truck is my daily driver, and in this 11000 miles has towed 11000-lb one trip for 400 miles. So vertually no towing.
Anyone else ever send one in and have results?
Viscosity is SEVERELY LOW. Causes include contamination, incorrectly identified viscosity grade, or adding a different viscosity grade to
the component. Increased component wear possible. If grade is misidentified, it can be updated in HORIZON. Is the FLUID VISCOSITY
GRADE correctly identified? Silicon is at a MODERATE LEVEL; SILICON sources can be abrasives (dirt, Alumina Silica), seals and gasket
material, lube additive or lube supplement, and/or environmental contaminant; Tin is at a MODERATE LEVEL; Possible bushing/******
metal; Gear and/or bearing metal is at a MINOR LEVEL; Maintenance action indicated at time of submission (fluid/filter change ,
filtration, etc.) will have corrected the issue this system is exhibiting. No further maintenance action is recommended at this time. We
