This is my first time ever at having a oil sample done on anything ive owned. This sample was done on my 2005 kawasaki vulcan 2000 (2053cc Vtwin). I did a 50%/50% mixture of amsoil 10w40 and 20w50 motorcycle oil. (new stuff). I also use the amsoil motorcycle oil filter.

here is what blackstone labs had to say...
we dont have any way to list multiple oils though we do note you are blending an experimental package. The end viscosity was in the SAE 40W range when checked @ 210F, just a little higher than the usual 10w/40. Iron wear is above average after the 3,071 mile oil use run, and we think the fact that the engine is still undergoing wear-in explains that. The other metals are easily in line with what universal averages suggest we should be finding after 3,950 mile oil use run. The TBN was 8.6, still quite high. Go to 3,500 mile oil use next sample.
Ok i wanted to hear what you guys think or have to say..
