I got my oil report back!

I'll let the report speak for itself, I have 145,000KM/90,000 Miles on the car.

Looks like good numbers all the way 'round. Why did you pull a report with so little mileage on the oil?

I think either they or I made a mistake with the mileage, its supposed to be 3500 km not 2500. Either way we would still see contaminants in the oil if there was something wrong with the engine.

LOL Dave - I use blackstone consistently on my pickup and I put 8k-9k miles on my oil as permitted by their analysis.

I was going to say - 2500 kilometers on the oil? Yikes! With Castrol Syntec 5W-30, you can go about 5000 miles (or whatever that is in French) between changes. even at 3500 kilometers, you're dumping perfectly good oil. Your fuel, antifreeze and water percentages look really good.
