6000+ miles on Havoline 5W30 and counting....

Vortec_4300,

I've been anxiously awaiting your UOA. Is there a long line up at Blackstone or something?

How were you able to measure the hours?

I thought the intake gasket leaks on that thing.

i sent my sample to blackstone yesterday. Chevy 5.3L, Havoline 5w30 SM for 6504 miles (3/18 to 8/30 i think)- no additives or makeup oil. The OLM did NOT activate. I couldn't take it any longer. I am getting a TBN.

Right now I got 4 months on an OCI and I can't take it any longer either; it's time to change it out. OLM is at 70%.
