Decided to change when the blot test was showing overall blot darkening, plus an inner halo. I am tending to just change the oil when it gets this way and is clearly dark from a dipstick wipe as it seems to be a simplest approach...Very slightly lower consumption this OCI. Did an alcohol flush before draining--poured in 12oz when the engine was already warmed, turned it on and ran for 30 seconds, turned it off, and drained.
