Good day, All. See my latest Blackstone oil sample. This oil change lasted 9,580 miles based on the EVIC OCI. The numbers seem reasonable to me except the viscosity has dropped a little. This is why I use 5w30 in my vehicles, so when it drops it's still above the recommended grade of 5w20. I'll continue to watch the iron in future changes to see if something is trending.
This run included 3 long road trips to various places, including one to Florida and back in November. I believe the fuel dilution is from recent cold weather, short trip driving since the run to Florida. This is the wife's daily driver and sees lots of short trips around town.
The oil and filter were both changed.
Out was Citgo 5w30 FS & MO-349
In was Citgo 5w30 FS HM & MO-349)
Just my $0.02
