Blackstone - used oil analysis

[Travis8352]

Heres the latest sample on my durango hemi. This was the third oil change. Oil was in service from 2500 miles To 4968 miles. The last short drain im doing. Flagged items are not an issue as mobil 1 esp x2 VOA i have shows oxidation and sulfation are essentially unchanged. My VOA showed identical sulfation and 38.8 oxidation vs 38.1 on this UOA. Viscosity drop due to fuel which suprised me. I didnt expect to see fuel dilution.

Dang still new hemi with wear that low, you lucky. I guess you are staying with 20 weight for warranty? Not all oxidation is equal, degraded oil versus serviceable oil. How do you like that Durango? Might be my next vehicle if I give up the RAM.

That iron got me just absolutely pumped up! Yeah 20 for warranty i decided and ill stick with it as long as im happy with the wear and noise of the engine. This hemi is substantially quieter than the ram ever was. Hard to compare them now since the rams manifolds are so bad lol. I figured id pick the best 0w-20 i can find. I prefer the specs of redline but chose this as i could easily secure about 40k miles worth without breaking the bank lol
