I changed out the factory fill at around 6k with Sig Series 5w30 and a Wix XP filter. This is my first ever oil analysis and was hoping for some insight from you all. According to the lab that did the test tbn is listed as "base number". I asked them about fuel dilution and the response was "if there was an abnormal amount of fuel we would have listed it". This was from the lady who answered the phone. She did say she would have the person who ran my sample to give me a call and explain further.
So far I'm not really concerned with fuel dillution. I checked my oil regularly and it never increased. Towards the end of the 9900 miles I used a little less then a half quart. I never replaced it because it was coming time for an oil change anyway.
What are your thoughts? Keep it going or change earlier? I do a mix of hwy and city.. Good amount of stop and go as I do Uber a 3 to 4 days a week.
Edit: fwiw I'm also running a 87oct livernoise tune. That was installed at the 1k mark..
I have oil left over.. Would it be worth sending to Blackstone?
