Results from my 68k oil analysis (8k interval, 6 track days, Mobil 1 0W40) - O.W. Kenobi 2006-02-27 18:40:47 (1963 views)

Holy crap! The oil was in the car for 6.5 months!!! Dude, do you even drive that thing? - quickaudi 2006-02-28 08:08:46 (259 views)

I have a 15 mile commute to work each day and do lots of road trips for track events. - O.W. Kenobi 2006-02-28 09:03:17 (211 views)

And, with the weather like this week is supposed to be, I'll bet you'll be doing more - quickaudi 2006-02-28 10:18:00 (205 views)

I wish. It's not safe to ride until the roads have been rained on hard for a few weeks. - O.W. Kenobi 2006-02-28 11:54:31 (232 views)

cry me a river, go ride your damn bike. ;-p - beerock 2006-02-28 12:42:06 (221 views)

:-) Soon. - O.W. Kenobi 2006-02-28 12:55:48 (178 views)

Actually, the filters are rated for a longer life than the oil. - RKA 2006-02-28 08:15:55 (249 views)

See, that's kinda what I thought, too. I think he was thinking about a normally aspirated - quickaudi 2006-02-28 10:17:00 (230 views)

With all due respect, data useless without TAN (total acid #) and TBN (total base #) - FAS4WD 2006-02-28 07:01:40 (270 views)

You ever try the German Castol 0W-30? Green or gold versions both seem to be pretty good. - BiturboBoy_V2.0_S3-- 2006-02-28 06:40:30 (277 views)

I switch back and forth seasonally between M1 0W40 and GC 0W30. - FixedWing 2006-02-28 14:49:57 (287 views)

not quite as chatty as the Blackstone folks. - Andrew C. 2006-02-28 14:54:07 (222 views)

True... - FixedWing 2006-02-28 14:55:45 (210 views)

Only Mobil 1 since the first 5k change. I know what to expect with it, and it's fairly - O.W. Kenobi 2006-02-28 06:48:33 (246 views)

how much does it cost you for a filter and 7 mobil1 0w-40 - beerock 2006-02-28 15:15:38 (190 views)

After a few UOA's of my own, I've personally decided that 7,500 miles is the right OCI - PaJohn 2006-02-27 23:07:42 (280 views)

"If you want to go little further with the OCI's, then Amsoil and German Castrol do a little better" - beerock 2006-02-27 23:33:47 (285 views)

Where are you getting this done. I wanna to do it to my car if possible. - Aali1011 2006-02-27 20:14:32 (186 views)

Blackstone. $20 each time. - O.W. Kenobi 2006-02-27 20:15:29 (278 views)

obviously changing oils for you is not an option, I believe once you run a certain oil stick with it - beerock 2006-02-27 19:49:05 (302 views)

Amsoil has too many phosphors. Skip, IMO. - christian (Stage 1) 2006-02-27 20:06:21 (222 views)

to much phosphor reaaaly good info christian ; x - beerock 2006-02-27 22:57:51 (417 views)

Uh no it doesn't. - crew219 2006-02-27 20:12:27 (251 views)

Many oil analysis disagree. Amsoil doesn't really live up to it's claims. - christian (Stage 1) 2006-02-27 20:19:13 (262 views)

real world analysis is in the archives (for both of those) - RKA 2006-02-27 19:58:47 (251 views)

Well, you tested two things... - RKA 2006-02-27 19:46:21 (269 views)

Yeah, I think they really tailor the commentary to the numbers. If people change - O.W. Kenobi 2006-02-27 20:14:10 (243 views)

who do you use for the analysis? been thinking of starting to do that. - Zold-manS4 2006-02-27 19:18:50 (246 views)

I did it out of curiousity at first. Then, I realized that it may give me advance warning - O.W. Kenobi 2006-02-27 20:12:01 (282 views)

Nice =). That's funny they chastised you. - Pat 2006-02-27 18:51:36 (302 views)

i imagine that it made him feel like a padawan again ;-) - Andrew C. 2006-02-27 20:11:14 (213 views)

LOL - O.W. Kenobi 2006-02-27 20:13:22 (219 views)

Great results for an 8k interval. - christian (Stage 1) 2006-02-27 18:50:21 (228 views)
