Here are the last two UOAs on my 2003 BMW 330Ci at about 140,000 miles.
Particle counts for a Mahle and Mobil 1 filter.
I am running a WIX XP filter and hope to have a UOA / particle count in a year or two
(Blackstone charges $14 more for the particle count with a UOA)
Seems like the M1 filter did better between 4 and 20 microns.
I did have the usual Oil Filter housing leak during the last OCI, seems better now
Replaced the thermostat and expansion tank during the 4/30/16 oci.
I believe the Blackstone Averages are for about 6,000 miles.
My averages are from 20 UOAs from about 20K to 140K miles on the car.
My average OCI has been about 6600 miles.
For the last 7 years I have been averaging closer to 8,000 miles per OCI.
