Blackstone gets a bad rap around here. I'm not sure I actually believe most of the "Blackstone was off by xxx ppm" comments. I'm more inclined to believe that the people sending the oil in were confused as to what they had in their sump in many of the cases. I've seen enough posts in the UOA section with "oh, you're right, this was the SL stuff!" or "just checked, it was 10w40, not 5w30" or "yeah, I did add in 4 quarts of brand Y 3 days before I did this change".
I'm not saying they haven't made mistakes but it gets blown way out of proportion on here. Some people on the forum seem to believe that Blackstone operates a random number generator.
