Vehicle: 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.6 Pentastar, Miles on Engine:41086, Oil:SuperTech 5w/20 Full Synthetic, Miles on Oil: 10036, Make up oil: 0 quarts, Date of report: 08/07/2017
Owner Notes: The last 3500 miles on this vehicle/oil was a round trip to Louisiana over the week of July 4th. This UOA was provided as part of the Pennzoil UOA program. My current fill is Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w/20.
Blackstone comments: Universal averages show typical wear for a run of about 7100 miles. Your engine is showing similar wear results to average after a long service interval, and that's nothing to complain about. The TBN is also hanging in there at 1.7 (1.0 is too low for continued use). This engine would do just fine with 12000 miles on the next service interval. Just don't exceed Chrysler's recommended mileage while the vehicle is under warranty. Excellent first report!

I drive a combination of very short trips in town (less than 2 miles) or long distances of 70 miles or greater, plus trips of 700 miles or greater during the holiday season. My goal with the UOA was to see how well my oil of choice is holding up with short distance driving and secondly, to see how a "generic" synthetic like SuperTech would compare to an upper echelon oil like Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. About 3500 miles into my current OCI. I plan on using a synthetic oil and going strictly by the OLM. For this OCI, the OLM indicated change around the 10k mile mark.
