Blackstone Labs used oil analysis for my model year 2002 with 48,200 miles. Amsoil Signature Synthetic 10W30 used for 8,100 miles. Previous interval was just over 6,000 miles. OEM engine air filter and OEM oil filter. 1 quart of oil was added over the course of the interval. This is my daily-driver with an average trip of about 15 miles in a mixture of city/highway driving. I am very pleased with the results and will be trying 10,000 miles on this next interval.

 

nice report, the car is running really well for you. Thanks for posting the info.

 

What does all this mean?! lol What am I to look for on an oil analysis?

 

You are looking for low levels of wear and contaminants as well as the proper amount of additives. Plus, the analysis will tell you how well the oil held up at the end of its service life compared to its original properties. Here is a link to a helpful post on BobIsTheOilGuy that might also help:

Thanks for posting this UOA. What Amsoil 10W-30 is this? ATM?

 

Those are good numbers.

May I have your permission to re-post the report?

Thanks

It was indeed Amsoil ATM 10W30 and yes of course you can re-post the report.

 

how much does something like this (an oil analysis report) cost?

 

^ $25

 

Nice report. Thanks for posting.

I agree with Blackstone - you should extend your OCI.
