This is an oil Analysis from Blackstone, which I received today. This was my first run with SSO, after switching from Chevron Supreme oil. I also used an AMSOIL oil filter. I immediately noticed a much smoother idle and an increase in fuel mileage after the switch. The Durango has 106,000 miles on it's clock.
Many of these miles (at least 3k miles) were accumulated off road in the Nevada Desert with a full load of camping equipment, family of 5, a dog, and a cargo rack full of gold prospecting equipment.
I am using a K&N filter, which I had just cleaned after the oil change, so I am probably going to try an AMSOIL air filter with the next oil change and perform another oil analysis at 11k miles. Seems the K&N allowed a lot of dirt into the engine. I had to add one quart of oil at 10k miles.
