Took a double hit from fuel aand coolant, and still looks half-decent. Tough oil!

Did you run this oil for only 3K because of the coolant leak? Yes, Blackstone said it was a good idea to change at around 3,000 miles due to a minor coolant leak.

Are you going to deal with the coolant leak? Seems a waste to do 3k changes on SSO.....

Have you always done 3,000 mile oil changes on this engine ? I used to go 5,000 miles per change. I have to admit, it is too much fun to do it more often.

He feels that the leak is so minor that installing a new gasket would not be very cost effective. I may have the head bolts retorqued in the mean time. What would you suggest?

Just wondering why the antifreeze % is left blank on the Blackstone report? I had them do a report recently and it was filled in. Thanks
