Blackstone Oil Analysis @ 222k 1GRFE

[s1moore1s]

1st time I've done an oil analysis. I don't know what any of this means, although I'm not sure why some anti-freeze would show up. Guess I'll check that again at the next oil change... Any comments?

04 V6 4wd 222k miles
5200 on oil when checked - QState 5W30 Full Synthetic

I was going to ask the same thing. There are enough people on that site that can give you some constructive advice regarding your UOA.

Sodium is used in the additive package of some oils. But I haven't researched that particular oil to be able to say what's in it specifically.

With super low wear numbers like you're showing (lead, especially) and no potassium (I'm not 100% sure that the coolant you're using doesn't have potassium in it) I'm going to doubt that you've got much, if any coolant leak into the engine. Have you noticed the coolant level dropping?

I'm going to wager that the very low wear is the result of a lot of driving (more highway miles vs. lots of cold starts and short trips) and a well-seasoned engine that's wearing well.
