100K mile Used Oil Analysis Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Fri, 5 Jun 2015 17:21:34 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I received back the test data today for my 100K miles (actually 110K miles) Used Oil Analysis from Blackstone Labs. Shell Rotella T6 oil with an over-sized Wix filter and 5K miles on the oil
Wear metals were significantly lower than the typical low values associated with the Saab 2.3 liter engine, and particulate matter was almost non-existent. In fact, Blackstone stated the oil appeared new rather than used with 5K miles.
I did these tests for my 2000 9-5 at 200K miles and again at 300K miles. Showing those very good results to the prospective buyer when I was selling the car instantly removed "prospective" from their description.
