[QUOTE="zemuron99, post: 1437473, member: 26516"] Here's the summary from my latest Blackstone report with ~6700 miles on Mobil-1 5w30 full synthetic, oil monitor at 33% remaining. Mind you there's only a bit over 18K on this motor, which is why a few metals are still trending down, most notably iron, copper, manganese and boron. Aluminum has been steady at 5/4/5 over the last 3 reports. SUS viscosity at 210F was 58.3 (expected 55-63) and cSt viscosity at 100c was 9.72 (expected 8.8-11.3) so the oil isn't getting thinned out w/time or miles at this point either. Fuel contam has consistently been <0.5% and antifreez at 0%: "This was a longer oil run than last time, but we'd hardly be able to tell just looking at the metals, as they pretty much all held steady or came down some. That's a great sign that all is well in terms of internal wear, so there's no reason to think a mechanical issue is on the horizon. We didn't come across any contamination from fuel or coolant, and the viscosity is on target for 5W/30. The TBN (2.3) is still well above the 1.0 cut-off, meaning the oil wasn't close to running out of available additive. You've got a great thing going here, so just keep it up." Again, this was mostly open highway driving, including a 3500 mile trip Seattle-kanab UT-Death Valley-Seattle. Looks like 7500 miles +/- depending on how much city driving I do will be my change intervals UNLESS for some reason the oil monitor drops below 25% earlier, at which point I'd change it. As I said before, wanting to keep the turbos happy I want some cushion between when I change the oil and when the additives are 'exhausted'. and 2.3 seems pretty reasonable. I've done Blackstones on my first 4 changes now, and with the numbers all looking good will probably save some $$ and start doing them every other change i.e. roughly 15k mile intervals. Interestingly, the only test that showed viscosity below expected was the FIRST change from the factory fill! [/QUOTE]
