I dunno how useful this'll be to anyone but here it is anyway.
Installed HPL PCMO Premium 0w20 plus something else. Used a AFE Pro GUARD HD oil filter because I like the ratchet off feature.
There's a NAPA Gold Air Filter that still looks good.
Also, since Blackstone has been on everyones bad side in regards to processing time, here's a chronology of how this one went.

Sampled April 9th
Shipped April 10th
Was delievered April 15th
Analysis completed May 1st

Thanks for looking

Looks good! Just so you know, the fuel % is likely closer to 3-4%. BS does not have a way of accurately measuring fuel dilution. They have a table they follow. In your case a flashpoint of 365=1%. Not accurate. A lab that uses gas chromatography actually measures fuel% in the oil, doesn't just follow a table based off of flashpoint. Also, your insoluables is a little higher than usual. Typically, BS shows 0.1-0.2% on this metric. Still below their condemnation point of 0.6%, but something to consider. Maybe the oil filter was more loaded than typical? You changed the filter, so that's good.

Whatever was in there was likely a 40 grade, based on the ending viscosity of 11.4.
 
Looks like a 5w-30 grade of oil (High mileage oil). Possibly Valvoline product. Everything looks like it's within or below avg. Thanks
