2013 Camaro AMSOIL OE 5w-30, 3k miles

[Rat407]

This is from a Camaro SS with the 6.2 LS3 engine with manual transmission. Driven for fun and trying not to get any tickets. So far so good. Basically on ramps are a blast as is taking off from stop signs on back country roads where I can see for a long distance. Engine see's red line every time I take it out. Big difference in power over my 91 Jetta TD. I changed the factory fill out at 734 miles as well as the filter and installed AMSOIL OE 5w-30 and a PF48 filter. About 200 miles before I pulled this UOA I installed a Catch Can, and cold air intake from Roto-Fab. Each tank fill up has been BP 93.

Code:
Oil filter used was a PF48 and ran BP 93 octane fuel since purchased new.

Looks normal for a GM engine, actually pretty good for a newer engine breaking in. Typical iron and copper.

Nice report - looks like the oil had more life left in it. Make sure that engine is warm before it see WOT-Redline - keep driving prudently and picking your safe spots to go. Thanks for posting.
