yeah, I don't know what to do about it. It might've been addictives that was put into the engine before but I mean the rest of the wear rates look fine. I'll probably do a 3k change and see how it turns out.

weird.. i would never go 7500 miles on oil even though they say you can... but I don't think that's the factor, that oil should be good for even more than that really....

strange!

Blackstone gives you a detailed report about whats going on with your engine, and why they feel the results came up as they did. Does it have anything about it on there?

My brother got this done, and I thought it was pretty interesting. He said the lead comes from bearing...
