What oil is it that you are wanting to test? Oh and love the new sig pic.

My results showed high silicon ppm. They said it could be due to abrasives like dirty air filter or any rtv gasket material. Could also be that these engines when built have high silicon so they told me to retest in another 3500.

To get somewhat conclusive data as to how effective your oil is protecting your engine.

Well I was thinking of comparing other peoples cars and oils. I know it's hard to see but in the pic it shows fuel, soot, water dilution as well. I talked to Amsoil and they said silicon ppm could be actual silicone rtv. And makes sense because I recently had a new timing cover put on and that uses rtv as a gasket.

Silicone rtv. You know like gasket maker stuff in a tube, I think ford uses the grey stuff but there's all kinds of colors. I'll show ya I got some at the shop
