fyi...oil analysis results
Just received results from Blackstone Labs on sample of oil I sent for analysis- see attached.
Car is 2012 X3 with 6 cyl. non-turbo motor (N52). 66K miles on the car; 7K oil change interval. Oil: Castrol 0W40 Euro Blend (Castrol has titanium additive, thus the analysis shows 'high' level of this element) |

What did they say could be the source for the excessive titanium?
