Blackstone oil analysis with German Castrol 0W-30

Been using this oil since May 07 and drove 5,000 HEAVY city driving (2-3 mile trips 90% of the time) with OEM 9E000 filter.



Discuss if interested

Well, FYI I sent my M1 Syn 5W30 in last week and got high iron and lead, which you don't have, but as they warned you. I do mostly city stop and go driving and I do open it up on open roads, so it shouldn't be too big of a surprise I guess.

Here's my thread:

Your iron level seems somewhat elevated.
