This is my most recent UOA. This is my 3nd oil report on Amsoil signature series. The change interval is about 9 months. The Blackstone lab suggest me to shorten it down to 8500 miles or a year. My previous oil reports: 1st oil report...

OK I think I have traced down the root of my problem. Back in 2009 when I first bought the car, I was persuaded by some Charger forum members to install a mod called Oil Catch Can. http://www.custombilletstore.com/product_p/20011.htm It seems that copper is actually coming from the catch...

Originally Posted By: chubbs1 I don't really see a big problem here. I would carry on but maybe switch to 0w-5w30. Cu was better than last run and oil looks like it is in good shape. No need for a 10w30 syn IMO. Thanks for the UOA! What do you have in there now? Amsoil signature series 10w30...

This is my most recent UOA. This is my 2nd oil report on Amsoil signature series. The change interval is about a full year. The Blackstone lab suggest me to shorten it down to 5000 miles or 9 months. My previous oil reports: 1st oil report...

My car started with conventional Mobile1 10W30. It was recommended in the user manual. I can only use that weight of oil. Otherwise my warranty will be void. For the 1st 12k my car never had any problem. Running great. I switched to royal purple 10W30 at 12K margin. Within 3K miles of using it...

This is my most recent UOA. Previous oil was Royal Purple which showed excessive wear. So far I am happy with the Amsoil Signature Series 10W30.
