Used Oil Analysis - Motul 5W-30 - 2010 WRX - 3.5k OCI - 45k Miles
Seems to have turned out pretty well. This Motul is solid stuff.

This is a great choice for 2011 and later owners that want a robust 5W-30. It's API SM, meets Euro ACEA A3 and several Euro manufacture specs, has a high 30 weight starting viscosity like GC, and is not Resource Conserving.
The only thing that puzzles me is the high zinc. X-clean is Mid-SAPS (Sulphated Ash Phosphorus and Sulphur) to meet Euro IV and V emissions and the phosphorus and zinc for reduced SAPS Euro oils is usually close to GF4 and GF 5 oils. http://www.motul.com/system/product_...pdf?1302202191 Any chance you ran a high zinc oil previously or threw in Red Line to top off with? -Dennis |

I noticed a difference in the OP's UOA with regards to Molybdenum. If mine read higher is that from my oil or my engine? I use Rotella T-6.

I take it relatively easy on the car but like to wind it out every once in a while. Car has a Torqued Performance Stage 1 Tune. I've been using the same type of Motul for the past 20k or so miles. |

Car burned some oil early on in its life when filled with the Subaru Synthetic 5W-30. Switched to this stuff 20k or so miles ago and it has not burned even a drop since then. |

I can't find any limitations on zinc for C3 oils, only phosphorus and sulfur. BS doesn't test for sulfur and the limitation on phosphorus is 900 ppm's.
Page 10: http://www.acea.be/images/uploads/fi..._Sequences.pdf There are no limitations on viscosity so it doesn't even matter if this was the 5W-40. -Dennis |
