Used oil analysis -- 22.5k

I just had a used oil analysis done when I did my 22.5k oil change. Oil had about 3750 on it and I have been using Amsoil 10W30 for the past 7500 miles. From a wear perspective, my results don't seem any better than when I was running Mobil 1, so I may go back to that as it is easier and cheaper to get. Anyway, here is the analysis...

The thread on the analysis I did at 15k is here: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=75067

Hey that is cool information, but just curious as to why you had this analysis done? How much did it cost you?

cool. I'm also doing a analysis at my next oil change in about 700 miles (18,700miles). A oil analysis is good piece of mine. How much did you pay for yours?

That's good work. Now, there is a benchmark of expectation.

excellent! someone else doing oil analysis too! I hope you don't mind, but I'll post my lastest too for comparison sake. Done on Mobil 1 at 19,472 miles. Also I did not go 5k miles on my next change. I changed it at 3k as usual. I going to do analysis every other oil change from now on.

Maybe if more people are having this done for archiving sake we should start a "post all your oil analysis sheets here" thread...???

Web site for Blackstone Labs is http://www.blackstone-labs.com/ Cost for a basic analysis is $20, TBN analysis is an extra $10. I did it mostly out of curiosity, in part about how my motor was doing, in part about what the difference between Mobil 1 and other oils might be, and about oil analysis in general...
