i've seen both +/- 4 and +/- 6 stated as acceptable limits. watching the numbers with your durametric will tell you two things:

- fluctuating values tell you your ims is wobbling.
- values that slowly increase over time (months, years) speak to deteriorating tensioner paddles (bits of green plastic in your oil filter) and need for eventual rebuild (3.6!!!).
- values that start high are probably due to mis-calibrated sensors from the factory.
