Got my first Blackstone report back. Here are the highlights at 29000 miles (4500 on oil):
Aluminum-4
Iron-13
Molybdenum-33
Potassium-19
Boron-36
Silicon-4:)
No need to worry about the PG7, although I usually don't drive in dusty areas.
The oil is dealer supplied, free oil changes. I'm assuming Mopar, which would make it Valvoline? Which would explain the potassium i guess.

Where do you go to get an oil analisys??

Every dealer cuts his own deal with a local wholesaler. Don't assume anything. They sell Mopar over the counter, but what is in their bulk tanks that serve the service department is different.

Thats what I was kinda thinking. Gonna poke around next time I'm in there. The techs are usually nice and let me hang around.

030303 how about posting the full report ? What you've posted is incomplete and lacking some crucial parameters.

I would also comment that after 4500 miles and a silicon of 4, the PG7 isn't doing such a great job. Not bad, but nothing to write home about.

I can't figure out how to post the pdf image:rolleyes:
So here goes:
Aluminum:4
Chromium:1
Iron:13
Copper:2
Lead:0
Tin:1
Molybdenum:33
Nickel:0
Mangenese:0
Silver:1
Titanium:0
Potassium:19
Boron:36
Silicon:4
Sodium:1
Calcium:2119
Magnesium:316
Phosphorus:1017
Zinc:1165
Barium:0
SUS visc:77.3 Flashpoint:440 Fuel:<0.5% Water:0.0 Insolubles:0.3
It's all greek to me. Thanks for the interest, John
