Awesome, glad someone did this! Thanks for sharing. I plan on doing mine at the 1 yr anniversary. I did a Blackstone analysis on my S65 because I thought it was burning excessive amounts of oil, turns out it was the stupid e-dipstick!

 ignore the comments field...they misunderstood me thinking this is the first oil change...but its the second oil change. First was done at 1100miles at the dealer, and i changed it again at 2900 miles (1800 miles on the oil sample). I called them about it and they said the results were all good. (also had a few track days on this oil sample) |

I recently sent off some oil to Blackstone for analysis. Posted are the results.
The history is as follows: -had 1200 mile run-in service -changed oil at 5k miles, which is when I collected the sample My daily commute generally consists of a 15 mile roundtrip drive that barely gets the engine oil up to running temperature. Once a week I make a 100 mile round trip drive. I also did a HPDE on this oil. I changed the oil to M1 0W-40 because the stuff was on sale at Napa. (Incidentally Mobil 1 is currently on sale there for $5.79/qt.) I'll likely send off another sample of the M1 in another 5k miles. Last edited by ayao; 06-15-2012 at 01:18 AM.. |

I've done three Blackstone oil analyses. The first two had what I considered somewhat alarmingly high levels of aluminum, iron and lead, but -- as predicted by Blackstone -- they all came down significantly in the most recent analysis.
