I just received my oil analysis back from Black Stone.
I don't know the oil change history. When I bought it, I changed the oil and here are the results from the first 5,500 miles.
I am using Mobil 1 10w-30 High Mileage Synthetic in conjunction with a Fram Ultra filter. The oil has 5,500 miles on it. One 1600 mile trip towing a 5,000lbs trailer. The rest was highway and very short commutes (
I should mention I have a loud tick/knock that I have narrowed down to the valve train on the driver's side. No other issues like codes, power loss, smoke, etc. Actually, from my reading this has become a common issue with the 3.4.
