Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I saved a bit of oil in a clean container from my last oil change and still intend to get it analyzed.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

13 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

Check out my recent oil analysis. This is with ~14,600 miles on the car and ~2,600 miles on the oil. The oil is M1 0W-40. I want to see if anyone has any comments on it, after that, I'll post what Blackstone had to say.

POST 2Original post

Hey at least you had oil to analyze ! . Can't see results on my phone ATM , Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk which means I'm probably traveling at the moment so please excuse any brief or hurried replies, spelling errors, etc. Etc.

POST 3Original post

Yes, oil in my engine is a good think and I'd like to keep it that way! Perhaps you can see this on your phone? Code: OIL M1 0W-40 MILES IN USE 2,600 MILES 14,600k SAMPLE TAKEN 7/23/11 ALUMINUM 4 CHROMIUM 0 IRON 11 COPPER 15 LEAD 4 TIN 2 MOLYBDENUM 90 NICKEL 1 MANGANESE 0 SILVER 0 TITANIUM 0 POTASSIUM 0 BORON 180 SILICON 6 SODIUM 17 CALCIUM 3010 MAGNESIUM 16 PHOSPHORUS 928 ZINC 1178 BARIUM 0 INSOLUBLES TR WATER 0 FLASHPOINT ºF 335 SUS VIS 210ºF 71.4 cSt @ 212ºF 31.31 FUEL % 2.0 ANTIFREEZE % 0

POST 4Original post

Odd. That flashpoint is really low, and fuel in the oil is high. Why did you sample or change your oil at about 2500 miles?

POST 5Original post

Any track days on this oil? Can't say I've seen a fuel number that high with so few miles. IIRC, M1 0W-40 viscosity @ 100c is 14.1, so this has lost a significant amount in a short amount of time.

POST 6Original post

I'm curious about the fuel myself. Shouldn't fuel evaporate after a long drive? My commute is about 30-40 minutes. I only take the Cayman once or twice a week. Shouldn't that be enough to evaporate fuel?

POST 7Original post

I wonder if the engine still breaking in (rings not seating) is the source of the fuel? And this will decrease as the rings continue to seat?

POST 8Original post

so what does blackstone have to say? inquiring minds want to know...

POST 9Original post

I guess I've kept you in suspense long enough....

POST 10Original post

Too much fuel in the oil and hence lower flash point - do you drive lots of short trips that don't let oil really heat up?

POST 11Original post

Sometimes I run short errands on the weekend. The temp gauge shows fully warmed up, but not for a very long time. My work commute is about 30 to 40 minutes each way. I usually use this car once or twice a week. I haven't had a drive longer than that in some time (I'm due!).

POST 12Original post

Thanks for posting your specific numbers. I saved a bit of oil in a clean container from my last oil change and still intend to get it analyzed.

POST 13Original post

Does anyone know the difference in formulation between the old Castrol Syntec and the new Castrol Edge?
