it's the WIX oil analysis kit from Amazon, not Blackstone Labs. it is a little strange, iron didn't go up from a previous Blackstone sample with 5,500 miles. yet aluminum went up, pistons? sorry to nitpick, just looking to learn.

single turbo? how laggy is that on a daily-driver basis? i would start with mobil 1 0w40 and change it after 2k miles, and get an UOA and see how it holds up. it is spec-ed or factory fill for the nissan gtr and mitsubishi evo, if i'm not mistaken.

Originally Posted By: Number21 Not everyone doesn't want a turbo. Why not offer the option? Should be just like A/C. That (first) sentence is kind of nonsensical. The first reason is cost, plain and simple, the demand doesn't justify the cost. If it did, every manufacturer would have turbos...

I'm willing to pay for your expertise and time of course. Not confident using the portercable on my own as a rookie. Some of the prices of the premium detailers are outrageous - 900 dollars+. I drive a (black) G35, not a Ferrari.
