    [attachmentid=7415]I recently received a used oil analysis (UOA) report from Blackstone labs. The oil has 10010 miles on it and the car about 60K, the oil was analyzed at 2.5K, 5K, 7.5K, and 10K. No oil filter changes, nothing added to oil except Mobil 1 0w20 and nothing added to the gasoline. About 3/8 quart added to replace the 4 oz removed for the first 3 analyses. Another 3/8 quart added because I started the oil level at about halfway between the full and add marks on the dipsticks. It turns out that this is about 3/4 quart below full (I had originally thought it was 1/2 quart) and I wanted the level to be closer to full. Why? For an extended oil change interval(oci), more oil will allow a longer change interval. Most of the makeup oil (5/8 quart) was added just after my 7.5K oil sample when someone over at Bobistheoilguy(bitog) pointed out the relationship between oil capacity and oci. Note the lack of fuel dilution, for the most part the oil looks good so far, I hope to take it to 20K (it remains in service.) Data is below, comments welcome.
