Notice how there's no increase in filterable particles or dirt in the oil, and how my numbers are lower than the universal averages or comparable.... OLM was at 9%. I've given up on my oil consumption and have decided 1qt of consumption is normal at 7k miles on my engine. Blackstone doesn't seem worried.
Can most of you imagine if this was an M1 run … ? And did you notice the poor guy with single digit iron M1 post go by all crickets … I’m not saying I’m a big UOA fan … but the hypocrisy of a half dozen here ruins the site …
Not a terrible run BTW …
I am quite surprised by this as well but like Duckryder mentions below, I am sure this engine, and the fact that a litre and and half had to be added between the OC, there is something up with this/these engines?

He means that everyone would be freaking out over the iron readings which appear quite high on a PPM/1000mi basis. Do you know if this particular engine has a reputation for shedding iron? It appears it might based on the universal averages.
