Blackstone results.....



Theres my resutls with castrol 15w-40 at 10k, I guess they say everything looks pretty good for 10k, and to run it to 11k. Silicon is high, and they said more then likely because if air filter, guess its time for an AIS. I currently have an AFE stage 2, so maybe that will go to ebay, or someone here. Or if someone wants to trade an AFE for an AIS haha id be interested. I guess castrol stuff is pretty good then, if you can run it to 11k safely? And most of my numbers are comparable to the 5200 mile averages. I just put in Delo 400 le this time to give it a shot, but after those results i may just stick with castrol.

Haha I just realized that was from 136k, which is now 15k ago. I should get them a more current sample. I just kept forgetting to send it in.

I also just put in Delo as a "whoops". Ran over my 6k limit and both the local Wally-Worlds were out of Rotella Syn. Next time I'm in there, I'm picking up my supplies for my next change. I guess I should stop recommending it, too.

Okay everyone, QUIT USING ROTELLA SYN IMEDIATELY!! IT'S REALLY BAD STUFF!!!

Im not sure which filter it is, its whatever one came with it. I cant remember now. Im just pleasantly surprised that castrol had such good results, as it seems not too many people run it on here, and Ive been running it for about 75k now, started before I gave oil any thought.

Ok, that's their standard media. The ProGuard7 is the yellow filter.

Has anyone gotten the none reusable ones? And ran it through a uoa? Either way, it may just be time for the AIS for me.
