Hey all,
I got my engine oil tested at the labs at work, this is the report. I know i might be a bit too anal here, but what could be the cause of a higher than normal lead content?
Crankshaft bearing wear? I can't think of any other source really.
-buick 3.8
-penrite hpr30
-5,500ks on oil
-263,500ks on car
"Lead is Slightly High for Hrs/Kms on the Oil, Silicon level is elevated, this may be due to (Si) leaching from seals and/or grease residual. Inspect the Filter(s) for Debris. Investigate and Evaluate Compartment (engine) Condition. Resample after 2,500 kilometres. Sample Note : NEW INLET MANF. GASKETS AND LIFTERS AT LAST SERVICE. SHOULD NO LONGER BE ANY TRACES OF COOLANT IN OIL. MASSIVE LIFTER TICK OR WRIST PIN NOISE AT START UP REMAINS"
All suggestions welcome, thanks
