Overall pretty good, just run down by fuel dilution. Great results on the motor breakin. I ran this oil to 2,500 miles and changed it agin with Amsoil.

I wish I had sampled the factory oil but did not, that oil just gave up as indicated by rising oil temps over the final 100 miles before I changed it.

The report is on its way.

Thank you. It looks like it handled the shear from this engine pretty well.

If you order the Dyson add on from Blackstone, Terry will add his interpretation to the Blackstone lab analysis. If you go to Terry Dyson, you receive his lab's analysis and interpretation. I've compared the two and found the Dyson Labs analysis to be more thorough and accurate. They use different equipment and methods.

BTW, Terry's comments are proprietary. You should not post his complete report on-line.

Your engine is wearing in well. But we can see that this engine is pretty rough on oil, with the flashpoint way down and the viscosity reduced to a 30W, indicating fuel dilution. You had more miles on yours when you took this sample than I did, and the wear is a bit lower. I'm about ready to change oil at my 5K service. We'll see how the Elf held up. At that point I'm changing to Motul 0W-40.
