Just sent in a Blackstone sample so I'm going to try and get an idea of where I am. I understand the 2011-2013 cars can be a little harder to gauge from an oil analysis due to the different bearing material the rod bearings were constructed with (not copper like earlier models)

Congrats on the purchase! Yea, had my mechanic do an inspection yesterday and everything looked good. So I may as well just bite the bullet and get the sample tested. Also, just noticed I'm missing my splash guard, so I was thinking of replacing it with the aluminum one from tuner motorsports. https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-3...m3-skid-plate/

Thank you! I have seen the Turner Skid plate/Splash guard. It is a really nice piece. From what I understand the factory guards get pretty mangled on these cars. The previous owner actually replaced mine last year, so I'm guessing it was in pretty poor shape before. If I ever have to cross that bridge, I will be buying the Turner plate also
