All,
I just received my 3rd UOA from blackstone labs on my 6600 mile run of rotella 15w40. I have a PDF file downloaded to my desktop on my mac computer, but don't know yet how to upload it to here. (advise please) I ran my first UOA with this oil with great results, but then I wanted to try a longer run with the T6 synthetic 5w40 rotella, and didnt like the results I got. High copper, iron, and sodium. So I was advised by "dnewton3" on here to run a 6600 mile UOA sample of the dino rotella again to see how it stacks up against the T6. 6600 miles is the "univeral average" that blackstone compares duramax UOA samples to. I should mention that after the T6 run, I ran a "buffer run" of the rotella dino to clean things out (dont worry I didnt waste it!). Also I tried a fram oil filter this time...and I was shocked to see that this combo of rotella dino, and a fram oil filter produced LOWER than average wear results! If I cant figure out how to downloaded these results...I will just hand type them out later tonight.
