Smile report

Delivered sample today at 11, they said i would get result by monday. But got the result before evening! GOOD NEWS! No abnormal wear metal levels! Reading results there is condensation in oil, but not very much. It does contain a bit too much gasoline thou. I cleaned the catch container with gas before i drained oil into it, but i dont know if that would make the oil thin.

Anyways I do not have a problem! But even thou test looks good, it does not explain why the oil looked weird. I will change the oil, based on looks. As my dad suggested after working on differrnt engines for a lifetime. I will keep an eye out on the value of aluminum in the oil thou, as it might be high for such a short runtime.

I want to thank everyone who has contributed with their time and effort to help me with tips and suggestions in this thread. Thank you.

The comment/report said the following (google translate from norwegian):

Comment
Missing information on specific oil in use, as there are several Mobil 1 3000 5W-40 variants.
The analysis (evaluated against SAE 5W-30 generally) indicates some gasoline present (low viscosity and low flash point). Requires that the sample be taken from operating hot oil (some gasoline will always be present, but this normally evaporates during operation).
The wear readings appear normal, no indication of abnormal wear detected. Water content
normal, no indication of possible coolant. The oil is somewhat thin, but this need not be
abnormal.
