Thank you! Yeah I kinda wondered about soot levels myself, that is why I kinda chickened out. All other points on the uoa looked good for my miles so why not? People on this site take oil change a little to seriously I think.
So back when I originally joined this website I was super anal retentive about changing my oil, you know changing out 2500 Mile full synthetic oil just because I was worried about wear numbers... Then one day I said to myself why worry so much? And you know what my life's been better ever since...
