2010 Honda Pilot, 3.5, 36k on unit, 6k on oil. Penn Ultra 5W20, Bosch Dist filter
BLACKSTONE:
Most metal levels are at reasonable levels, so the only mark we have in the spectral results is for
iron. It's still high at 42 ppm since this oil wasn't in use as long as the universal average interval of about
6,500 miles. It might be a good idea to drop your interval to just 3,000 or 4,000 miles next time, just to see if
that helps keep iron from accumulating so much. The other mark here is for a low flashpoint, which shows
2.0% fuel dilution. 2.0% fuel could be the result of short trips or idling. The TBN was fine at 2.6, but check
back after a shorter interval next time.
