What does the Wix report cost vs the Blackstone? Copper and Iron stand out but not sure if they're high for this particular engine.

$9.49 ($$10.50 w/tax) when purchased through RA as Wix p/n 24077.
Plus shipping to you from RA($2.99 to my door).
Plus shipping from you to the analyzer (estimate $7)

So about $21. And TBN is included as standard.
Zero additional costs of any kind.

Blackstone with TBN is $38 plus approx $7 shipping from you to them.

So Wix won't just send you a bunch of free containers? O well, that's good to know they do TBN also. No fuel detection? I guess you can determine that from viscosity.

L83's have oil coolers and cylinder sleeves - they will shed for a while

That's good to hear! I've been keeping an eye the oil level waiting for it to start dropping. At least that's what you read on the internet

I'm having a difficult time reading some of the small print. How many miles on the vehicle?

I didn't expect the AFE to be so thin at 6K..... 6.9 and 7.2. No oil loss with @100 numbers that low - inside a 5.3 engine is impressive.

I saw that, but i did not see a fuel % or a flashpoint to see if fuel dilution is the cause.

So is there a chance the full dipstick level was caused by dilution dispersed?
I'd just guess and say the Virgin cst@100 for 0W20 AFE would be bordering 8.
Plus. don't the 0w20s in general, not shear much?

Been running this same oil in my Cruze, so I'm disappointed to see phosphorus so low.
