Got my Blackstone Lab report back

klaymon · 04-19-2006, 01:58 PM

Just a bit of background for those interested:

Car was broken in by the book.
Mobil 1 5w-30 put in at 1,000 miles and I am at 30,000 right now.
Oil and filter changed every 7,500 with a Purolator PureONE PL14612 filter.
No make up oil added between changes, no oil loss between changes.
No track events. All street driving with 6K shifts at random times during the day, usually shift around 4-4500.

All numbers were well within their universal averages. TBN (additive test) showed 2.6 (1.0 is low). Called for a little more discussion and was told that 7,500 was a good change interval for my engine. Enough additives were present to maintain this change interval.

Just wanted to share my happy news. My engine is in good shape.

I do track days, so I can't get away with that.
