How did your Purolator fair? Any failures?

4215 miles on the oil after 3 months; 2000-mile road trip to Amarillo added 2 months of mileage in only 1 week in May.
OLM read 45%. Oil level never budged from full.
I asked for and obtained an oil sample -- in fact they brought it to me hot off the griddle, so to speak. I'll send it to Blackstone to get an idea how this oil holds up in this engine.
