    Looks like the nutrition label of one of those new fangled vitamin supplements they sell.

    The Soot and Calcium are pretty high compared to a B model that we have. The viscosity looks good. Did they test for water, antifreeze, and fuel?

    Were it me I might change the next time with less miles (say 12,000) and look for differences in the sample.

    All of my oil analysis is done through Cat, and they indicate whether there is anything of concern.
