oil analysis in different driving conditions

[jpatota]

I'm about to run a blackstone oil analysis for the first time so I have a few questions for the community.

I know driving habits effect a lot with wear on the car. Do those effects include oil wear as well?

If I am driving 7500 every 2-3 months almost exclusively on highway, then I drop down to 7500 every 6-8 months on a highway/city mix with the same synthetic oil and filter combination, will I see a difference in engine wear and oil analysis results

Thanks

Yes.

Well, I'll say "most likely". You're still in a ..hmmm.. sweet spot at the lower mileage segment.

I would tend to compare the fuel economy difference between the two 7500 mile runs in an attempt to equate oil fatigue.

That's another one of them Lorne Green's "that 105 to you and me" type things. Your 7500/6month thingie may be equal to 12.5k on the longer haul.
