Hey Guys and a Gal or two
Pulled a sample @ 3k for comparison purposes and to see how it's doing considering it starts out with a TBN of 5.8 according to Amsoil.
I ran Amsoil OE 5w30 for 1,500 miles to flush out any remaining Redline Oil outta the system.
One things that i noted with this Oil (Euro Formula) is that my oil consumption has decreased by A LOT! I only added 1/4qt @ 2,000 miles (vs having to add a full quart by 1,500 in the past like clock work, since the engine was new)
Blackstone thinks it's due to the thicker viscosity but i think it has something to do with Amsoil's Formula for the Euro Blend and it's simply not burning off as much as pretty much every other oil i've tried. (they consist of; Mobil 1 EP, Pennzoil Ultra, Eneos, Motul, Amsoil, and Royal Purple, just to name a few off the top of my head.)
Amsoil has the Kinematic Viscosity @ 40°C, cSt = 76.3 but B_S lists the used oil @ 64.5 @210F. Could it really have sheared that much or if i send in a virgin sample, B_S will list the value @ 6x.x using their different scale??
The car is driven harder then ever and that's what surprised me more and more every time i pulled the dipstick to check the oil level. Hmmmm, interesting...
Anyway, the oil is still in the engine and i plan to resample @ 5,000 miles. I only have another 1,500 miles to go. Shouldn't be too long as i have several road trips coming up.
Comments are appreciated.
