To preface, I do these to satisfy my curiosity more than anything else, but this looks like a nice boring report to me.
This was actually the second OCI on Kendall GT-1 Synth Blend 5w20, I am now on my third fill of that oil. The engine really does seem to like this oil and runs unbelievably quiet and smoothly once its warmed up.
Vehicle: 2013 Kia Sorento EX 3.5L V6
Miles on Vehicle: 33900
Miles on Oil: 6800
UOA was done by Polaris Labs. Previous were done by Blackstone.
I don't see Flashpoint listed, fuel was listed as
They claimed TBN was slightly low at 3.94. Overall I'm impressed, though this OCI was easy miles, a solid 4k miles of it was done via highway road trip, and it only took 2.5 months to cover almost 7k miles.
I'll feel comfortable going up to 7k or out to the manual limit of 7500 miles.
