I'm not sure how readable this is. I will post mileage and oil type after i get feedback. Let me know if anything looks abnormal.

Have you posted your results on www.bobistheoilguy.com ? If not I would post them over there and you will get a lot of great feed back from their forum members.

I actually registered over there. Just waiting on Approval.
As for the test I used Amsoil 5W30. Oil had 8k miles on it. I changed the filter twice during that 8k miles.
As for the analysis, I believe all numbers are within spec or well below them. Which is great news. I am trying to narrow down the Viscosity, but I believe it finished somewhere in the region of a high SAE 20 and low SAE 30
Iron might be a little high
So really the only thing i was worried about was viscosity and it looks like I changed it at the right time. My mileage has went up.
I am very happy with the results and I am starting to Amsoil might be worth it.

Check this OA from Bobs site:
This is Turbo car using Amsoil. The Iron was around 30. The Fuel should be UNDER 2% as shown on the chart.This OA shows LESS than .5%!

OMG!! I figured I was the only person here that regularly sends in my oil for analysis. You mean there is more than one other person on this forum that actually gets scientific test data and relies on it to make informed decisions on what to do with their car, say it isn't so. I thought all Cobalt owners just went by what "some guy" said, its louder so it must be faster, or butt dyno stories. If things keep going like this the next thing to happen will be meaningful before and after dyno charts that show actual improvement or losses when certain products are used or compared.
There might be some hope for the members of this forum, but I doubt it. We'll have to wait and see. I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best while I continue to wade through countless pages of pointless and useless garbage posts.
Thanks to any and all that provide quality information on the forum.
