Default k20a3 - Rotella T6 oil analysis

Hey guys, didn't see any other oil analysis threads, figure I'd post this here...

- Stock k20A3, currently 106,000 miles.
- No oil consumption/makup.
- Rotella T6 5w40, 10,000 interval, (aprox. May - late August).



The results column on the right of the "Unit Locations Avg" block are previous results: 10k interval, Pens. Platinum (5w30), car had 53k miles.

The column to the left of the "Unit Locations Avg" block are the present results.

Pic isn't working. Did you use Blackstone Labs for testing? I'll respond again when your pic works.

Interesting! You can tell the Rotella is a higher viscosity as reported on the Properties.

I like their comments about TBN and extending your change intervals. More about that here:

very nice. Nice to see that extra effort in taking care of an engine by doing a lab test sample.
