Second Blackstone report.

Timujin · 07-22-2019, 04:59 PM

Yep, ran LM 10w60 oil for about 10k miles & 1 year

Oil in this sample was added by MRF after the RB service.

I performed oil change a few weeks ago and sent a full sample in for testing. Moly content was way up which was expected due to LM oil.

Looks good.

I would suggest you pay for TBN and TAN next time. They make good data points to determine proper change interval.

Definitely. Thx.

Congrats. Good feeling but you dont have a full view yet. It takes time to build a history and get a real feel as one or two reports dont give you the big picture in themeslves.

My 2 cents: Just change at 6k or twice a year. Oil reports get expensive when added to every oil change, and the added cost of the TBN TAN just adds to it.

And if you use FCP Euro it gets pretty cheap to change oil.

Also, I'll assume you do a lot of highway driving.

Why do you say that?

Just out of curiosity, which bearings and bolts did you go with?

Because they will send you brand new oil for free. All you have to do is send back all of the used oil.

Thank you for your reply. I am not familiar with CT-1, other than a quick google search says it's a Calico treatment. I guess I'll have to do some research. Thanks.
