04 Passat Oil analysis
Analysis by Predictive Maintenance Service, Ulrichsville, OH.
The first analysis was at 50973 miles on the car and 11241 miles on the oil. Previous owner had it maintained at the dealership with documents showing the correct oil p/n. I did not sample the oil interval after that. It was 10K on Elf Excillium DID 5w40. This was considered a flush. The second analysis of Elf oil was done at 69784 miles with 9779 miles on the oil.

The 170 Fe count and 2.78 BN was disturbing. However, the return to reasonable numbers was calming.
