I don't know but would be interested in some hard data (not opinions)
I'm waiting till i have a few more miles on it to send off some samples for fuel dilution. I may try the oil analyzers( Amsoil?) as i hear blackstone is not as accurate for fuel dilution.
I want to send a sample 1/2 way through an oci say 2500 miles and another at 5k. Ultimately i'd love to send 2 samples at 2500 miles, one with about 10 miles after a cold start in winter and another fully warmed up at say 20+ miles.
And the same 2 mileage samples at 5k
I don't really want to spend for 4 uoas though.
