Here is the updated Oil Analyzers test. Why can we "edit" a post that we made in this forum??

Ok I am about frustrated with how this forum handles the pics. Please put a utility that we can quickly post these reports. So here is Blackstone's report. I had Oil Analyzers do the analysis over as they told me something is NOT right with it.

Ok so I got the Blackstone report back and it seems to differ quite a bit in a few places from the Oil Analyzers report. Also why cant I add this to my original post? The "Edit" button in not there, only on this post.

I sent a sample off to Blackstone as well but have yet to get it back. We will see if they are close when I get the results.

I think my curiosity is mostly why the oxidation was slightly out of range?

Oil is so much more than just film strength.

So I did the first oil change and UOA on the factory fill with 8350 miles. The only odd thing I see is the Oxidation at 22. The silicon will drop over the next few oil changes. Changed the oil and filter with Amsoil SS 0W-20 and a Honda A01 oil filter. The MM was at 15% when changed. Thoughts?

I run one on my 1998 Jetta Tdi with 365k miles. They are great filters! Trasko bypass install

Thanks! I cant wait to cut open my Amsoil bypass filter and see what lurks inside.

Costco must have have gotten a deal on them before or now the supplier charges more. IDK.
