Default Oil Analysis - Opinions/Input

Motor B16a from Hmotors, purchased in July 2003, I have beat the **** out of this motor for the last 100k, but have always kept up with maintenance. current mods DC 4-2-1, K&N drop in and stock exhaust and JDM P30. Only oil ever used was Mobile one and mostly Honda or M1 oil filters, last 2 changes have used Napa Gold(Wix) oil filters. Oil loss seems to be leaky seals that I have been replacing, most recently the oem cam plug was replaced with a golden eagle one. No smoke at all from the exhaust

the analysis was performed by http://www.blackstone-labs.com/

*the mileage shown on the test in 2005 I added 40k to the # of miles I had put on it since the swap was done in july of 2003, since this is the estimated mileage hmotors claims on their swaps.

Just posting for feedback and info for other members that have never had there oil checked before. feedback welcomed

cost $25
