I think the fuel is a problem. When I drain the oil I can usually smell the gas, even when Blackstone replies very little was found...
The Sample from 3/23/2014 is M1 0w40.....
I was going to run a homebrew of 2.5qts M1 0w40 and 2.5qts M1 HM 10w40.
But, as luck would have it, I was having the inspection done and tires rotated and was offered a free oil change coupon. So I used it and am running Autozone DEXOS 5w30, which I think is synthetic.
FYI..
