Hi all:
I recently sent out oil samples from my engine and transmission.
The engine oil came back showing a slightly high level of lead (67 PPM). What in the Viper engine contains lead or a lead coating?
The transmission came back showing elevated levels of silicon (55 PPM). What in the transmission would cause a high silicon level?
I was running Synthetic 10W30 in the engine and Syntorq 75W85 in the transmission. Other than the two stated issues, all other wear metals were in a "normal" range.
I can provide the .pdf files if needed. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thank you!
