Blackstone oil analysis

[Dark Knight 500]

Decided to send in my first oil sample from my 2017 Ram 1500 Hemi w/ 125,686 kilometers (78,100 miles).

Not bad numbers I'd say, what do y'all think.

Also, recommend to post these up in the specific thread for BlackStone / Oil Analysis reports, too.

Pretty decent, my guess go to 5w30 might even lower that in a bit. I would be happy with that.

I didn't even realize their typo, I do run 5w30 synthetic

So Blackstone recommends going to about 7500 miles between oil changes. Seems like the oil life monitor is reasonable when it gets to that mileage and 20% oil life left. 5W-30 oil also makes sense even though some people will say you must run 5w-20, those test results look good. Blackstone made the mistake of labeling the oil that you use as 5w-20? And Blackstone is still calling your truck a Dodge, lol.

You need to know tbn to smartly even go 7500 miles, you can see from bs how many engines are out of tbn even less miles. Every engine is different. Some engines 1tbn even at 2500 miles, see chart.

That report is for Mobile one oil and an unknown motor. Total Base Number should be above 3 or it's time to change the oil as it's ability to neutralize acids are reduced. That oil barely started at 9 and dropped to 4 at about 5000 miles but is still above 3 at about 12,000 miles. Time on oil also counts as 3000 miles a year or 20,000 miles a year makes a difference. I stopped using that stuff years ago. His test was for Pennzoil.

Point being that is like 5,000 oil changes, so more important then which oil is which engine. We had respected members here running the best known oil on the board, near out of tbn at 4k miles or so, @U&A had a result like this with an oil that starting tbn higher then Pennzoil. Even old results on amsoil the longest interval oil commonly known, has changed drastically as the formula has changed from those days of 12tbn. I would say amsoil ss would still be the longest interval oil if someone wants to play it safe. That link was from Blackstone as far as what they say on interval, so make of that what you will.

^^^ THIS!!

Why I always obtain both the TBN and TAN test results on all my oil analysis...
For the extra $20USD on top of the regular fees, it's worth it every day of the week to get the full picture (IMHO).

These combined with all the other tests they conduct paint the full picture of what's really going on inside ones engine and with ones chosen oil at the interval one has done on said sample using said brand of oil (and filter, too).

Especially if one is looking to go extended OCI's.
