Hours Question

[Digital Oxygen]

Im thinking the boron levels are so high than previous samples is because I would have 5000 or so miles on the oil, PLUS 80+ hours of high idle.

MY next test (should get it any day now) will tell us just how bad high idling is for this motor when it comes to oil life.

We did find a trace of fuel dilution, which is common in engines that see a lot of city driving and/or idling. It isn't a problem until it reads above 2.0%.

This is what Blackstone said about my last sample. On the bottom line is FUEL% IN OIL and <2.0 is the target. My reading was TRACE and yours is 0.5. IMO this is the indicator of excessive idling, but since you're well below 2.0 you're still within range.
