My Blackstone oil analysis test kit showed up in the mail yesterday so they do indeed send them to Canada.

Yeah I think that's what I'm going to do. I really hope copper is still down. If not, I have a choice to make: good wear numbers with PUP or quiet Hemi with Redline
I'm leaning towards the oil cooler. To my way of thinking if it were bearings, wouldn't there be other metals high as well? Even Blackstone commented on my UOA that it's odd only copper was high. Bearings should also contain zinc, tin, or nickel...We have never truly zeroed in on the copper in these hemi's. We've been told the oil cooler the release lots of copper early on in his life but they still show high copper throughout their entire life. Can it continually be bleeding out of the oil cooler or is it really coming from our bearings too?
Yep , my wife's Challenger has high copper ppms on her uoas. , I'll try to find it and post it here .Yeah I think that's what I'm going to do. I really hope copper is still down. If not, I have a choice to make: good wear numbers with PUP or quiet Hemi with Redline

I do , just because I like to see what's going on inside my engines and transmissios that I own .. .most folks never do uoas and never have knowledge of what's going on and also most never have any big issues ...I'm just an overmaintainer by nature , so was my dad ....damnit Dad !Wow, do you always do oil analysis checks during oil changes?
Good question , I'm not sure that's why I purchased enough for another 3 years for my truck & the wife's Challenger [emoji16]Does anyone know if Redline has changed or diminished their additive package yet??
I would say that they probably will meet the new GF6 or SO or SP ratings, whether they have to change their formula or not. It may be good enough already to meet those requirements but the way I understand it those marks haven't fully been set yet because they can't agree on testing procedures.I dont think they will. But if they do I'm hoping they come out with a specific oil that meets the GF6 raiting and They don't touch anything else.

Oil companies are updating now to Dexos1 Gen2 but they're still GF5 SN oils.
