Absence of centre zone perimeter ring, yep it looks good and 10000 km blotter spot should be coming soon.

Since the last used of the Pennzoil oil are good, i've prolong the oil change.
Hope this blotter will be a good indication for all.

Hi chemistry,
This 48 hr blotter spot has a very large centre zone , but without a clear ,dark-coloured perimeter ring around the centre zone (which is a good news) indicating a very potent or strong dispersancy (and detergency) capability typical of a modern HDEO diesel oil.
Btw, this PC Duron SHP 15W40 is a semi-synthetic HDEO with ultra high specifications in CK4,E9, ECF-3, other than dual rated SN.
The rather grey colour of the centre zone indicates quite an amount of combustion by-products and contaminants etc in this 11,145 km used oil sample from a carburrettor old tech engine.
The intermediate diffusion zone is good and clear.
However, I find it interesting for being unable to 'see' the outermost transparent zone surrounding the jagged edges, indicating near zero fuel dilution despite your claim of 90% stop & go traffic condition.
It appears to me this engine is very well maintained.
This used oil sample appears to be serviceable for probably another 1500-3000 km , IMHO or speculation.

It would be great if there is an inclusion of duration of engine oil used like for how many months. (Y)

Hmm cempedaklife ...... the centre zone perimeter ring appears very obvious, doesn't look good for its detergency/dispersancy.
I thought Honda 0W30 could do much better than that.
It could be due to cold temperature when doing sampling.
Next tests try do it hot, after say 20 minutes of 20 km run.
Check with previous posts from this thread, there was one Aisin oil type very impressive blotter spot test. Try use that particular one if you are going for Aisin.

Just before pouring this oil, you did throttle cleaning ?

Edit: Your June 8 post saying sample was taken after 15 min from pasar, not this sample ?
