Note the dates on the samples. The ones with higher miles run into the summer, shorter ones are in the Winter. I could not see where these folks are from.
The sodium climbs with miles for the winter samples and then levels out. To me, this suggests road salt getting past the filter. And the silicon also does this. These silicon levels are too high. If one vehicle, I would suspect a leak in the induction system. But for this fleet, I am wondering about what they are running for air filters.
I am not happy with the conlusions or implications of this study. I can't tell if what they see is caused by the seasons.
