Oil analysis advice
Hi yall,
My oil analysis at 15k miles about 4000 miles on the oil, and here are the results: blackstone says the copper is high. I track/autocross it about 10 times a year, and daily it as well. Any advice about what to do in the future? Shorter oil change interval/Longer oil change interval/More frequent/5W30 for track season? |

once is an anomaly, 2-3 times is a pattern.
do you go extremely easy on it until it's fully warmed up, or do you just send it all the time?

This is not a bad report. 5 Parts per Million of copper is still nothing to get excited about. What brand oil?
If you auto-x 10x on that oil, I'd step up to something like Motul 300V 0w-20. The fuel is more concerning to me as it impacts the oil quality. Typically, high fuel is a result of excessive cold idle, and can be resolve by changing that habit. Start the car and go, just avoid high load until your oil is up to temp. It can also be the result of very short drive cycles. By short, I mean 1-2 miles where not even the coolant gets up to temperature. |

No. Load is what tries to squish the oil film from between bearing and pin. Low load (torque) does not apply nearly as significant a force.
Quote:
Low RPM load puts significantly more strain on rod bearings. Each rod carries twice as much load making 100 ft/lbs at 2,000 RPMs vs 4,000 RPMs. At 4,000 RPMs that torque is spread over twice as many combustion cycles, meaning the rods get half as much load. |

Be in the right gear for conditions. I.e. dont try to go uphill in 6th gear at 40mph.

Drive it as if the gas pedal can't be pushed more than a quarter way down... -ish.
The car ends up slowing down going uphill even though the engine is revving in a lower gear, and it takes extra time getting up to speed.

I never had copper in my oil but if you autocross I would highly recommend 5w30 at least until it gets cold out.
