I just got my first UOA back from Blackstone! Now how do I post it? I thought I read some directions a few weeks ago, but haven't been able to find them with the search!

NO TEASE! Here it is:
I have about 38,000 miles on the car. It's driven approximately 75% backroads at 55-60mph, the remainder in usually light stop-and-go city traffic. I don't drive the car hard. This oil was in use 6-7 months.
This was just an experiment to see how Edge holds up. I'm now using M1 0w40 at 7500 mile OCIs.
I'm very interested in what you guys have to say!
Oil was run too long for this application. TBN is too low and accounts for the iron wear, other than that it looks good. Oil thinned out and flash point is low.
Find out where the fuel is coming from and that will fix the TBN, flashpoint and most likely iron wear.
It's not bad. I'm not familiar if this engine is an oil beater? I'd like to see a direct comparison to Amsoil or M1 EP. Oil is shot. I would just go 8-10k. Not impressed with Edge.

Wear metals aren't that bad - TBN is beyond elshoto. This engine has a decent sump, so TBN should be a bit higher. Yes - the engine is a famous fuel dumper when not warm.
