Oil Analysis Thread

see this on a few forums, thought with a few years now, the 3rd gens need this. or at least i think we do

i'm going to simply attach the entire report but i'm also going to give a few notes on my driving habits, oil used. thinking something like this could help someone down the road.

Current Mileage: 36,400
Driving Habits: Street, Aggressive Street, Race Track
Oil used: OEM 5w-30 with 0w-20 last oil change.
oil change interval @ 7k miles.
Results: TBN is still good. Aluminum and Lead are high. this raises an eyebrow. will check @ next sample test.
i switched to LiquiMoly SpecialTec 5w-30 and will change @ 7k and provide a new report.
