Looks good, that oil filter is working well, be nice to see more particle counts from Blackstone

I am impressed with the kirkland oil, got some on sale for $2.19 per qt. for 0w20.

I’m currently running the same oil and a Wix 57055 filter. I’m going to do another uoa with particle count to compare the filters.

The only part of the UOA that doesn’t look good is viscosity, being essentially out-of-grade for a 20-weight. And if the flashpoint is correct this wouldn’t be a result of fuel dilution. So that leaves shearing, which in turn could lead to a question about the quality of base stocks.

I may have missed this information, but was the oil in February’s UOA also Kirkland 0w-20?

 

[dkryan]

Never mind. I just saw your March 11th thread that confirmed it was Kirkland.

This fill was with all SP. The first uoa was a half and half of SN/SP.

I am very interested in seeing that one. Myself, being a bypass valve enthusiast, am using nothing by Wix 57055 filters on my 2021 Outback but I am not liking some of the M&H changes that have been made in recent years on this unit. If I wanted a Purolator I would buy a Purolator, I will not buy any more "Purolated" Wix filters.

assuming its pretty warm-hot over there a 10-30 fake synthetic would be my choice

Another excellent report from a warren based oil, color me surprised

Love how these Warren oils demonstrite how much people Will pay for their own advertising and conditioning.

Dex1gen2 says it all. Best oil for price, especially on sale at Costco in store.

Hmm.... maybe I'll consider changing over consider we drive practically the same car.
