Blackstone Comments:
This oil was in the engine for just slightly more than a year, but that didn't seem to cause any problems. We typically find that it's the miles/hours on the oil that matters, not the time on the calendar, and these results support that. This was a 56-hour oil run, and that's probably a bit longer than average (most of the samples we've seen were tracking miles, and the average mileage on the oil was only about 600 miles), but whatever the case, everything looks good here. The trace of fuel isn't an issue, and the TBN is strong at 8.1. Add 25-50 hours and check back.

56hrs holy uoa batman!!!

susvis of 30wt but trace of fuel prolly did that.

alum of 8 is low low low for 56hrs
chromium of 3 is either a LOT of scatter or high
iron of 15 is prolly typical to low for 56hrs
copper of 39 is a big number...but could be low for 56hrs
but tin 0? huh???
lead 5 ??? huh? where did that come from?
manganese 16??? also huh
ah once again the stoners silver shows up. hello scatter how are you?
barium 1 ??? really stoners?
omg what is a TR of insolubles? what happened to the 0.1 or 0.2 or 0.3 values? stoned!!!

the only real value to watch is the copper since zinc (brass mix) is masked by an oil component. i would guess this is from a brass bushing on the clutch hub or similar.

for 56hrs this is one heck of a good report!
at this rate with this oil the motor will fail about 200 years after the sun goes nova.
