Here is the the Blackstone oil report i just got back from my car.
Remember this was the oil that was mixed with the water when my oil cooler was allowing water to drip into the oil lines. I had a gallon of clear water that came out the drain plug before oil started coming out. then i saved all the oil and put it back in. This oil was pretty new and this was back last year. anway, 6months later and 3 track weekends, 1000miles of street driving too, I drained the oil and sent it in for analysis, as I do every year.

Here are the results after racing and driving the snot out of it from feb. to june this year. even the verbage from the guys that do the analysis said the oil looks great, engine is in great shape.

No HTwo O

While the report looks good, it is only one report. You should continue doing this to build a database.

3 quarts of Make Up Oil? That's a lot for only 1,000 miles.

Every race uses near a 1/2 quart, so over a longer period than i usually go, its not much, and I didnt put any make up oil for the last weekend, just drained it as it was still above the min line. Heck, i heard GTS's regularly use about 1 quart per 1k miles. Keep in mine, when this car warms up, i am not nice to the engine, ever. even driving to the track, im doing 60-100mph runs.

as far as keeping a data base. I have. I do the test every year and have even when I had the holbert engine running. (8 full racing seasons). this is the 3rd season for the new stroker motor, and I have 3 oil reports, all near perfect results.

It was mostely distilled water. anyway, i had a drip, every 10 seconds leak, that slowly leaked when the engine was running, and gave me about 1 quart in the oil, overnight. it was all separated when I drained the good amsoil out, so I figured any water mixed in the oil would evaporate when the oil got to over 200F. It still looked pretty good, and there was some discouragement to do so from the list, but since I knew I was going to only street drive the car for about 1000miles before my first track day, I thought what harm could I do. in the end, it was fine . had the oil been foamy, brown, or looked anything other than clear, I wouldnt have risked it. Heck, its amsoil, the miracle oil!

Outstanding!

I used to be an Amsoil dealer. Superb products, from A to Z.

I'm sorry. This post must be deleted since Mobil 1 is now a Rennlist sponsor and you are in violation of the Rennlist terms and conditions.
Here forward, Mark Kibort shall no longer mention Amsoil in any context without prior approval of the moderator. Failure to comply will result in forced usage of Mobil 1 for the next racing season

Further violation will result in Mark giving me his car as a penalty

Mark Kibort, I love you just for being Mark Kibort.

i used a product called synergyn in my race boat.engine oil was outstanding as well as the gear oil.although gear oil was very thick and needed warm up period.not sure if it's still around.

smyth1

still around ,just googled it .great stuff

results look good...similar to what my tests look like.......

Many people use a UOA for the incorrect purpose. A UOA tells you if the engine oil is still serviceable not how the oil lubricates the engine. To differentiate the actual internal engine lubrication performance between oils you'd need to run the appropriate car maker oil test sequence for the engine series.

A UOA is excellent for determining the proper OCI which is what the test is designed to determine.

maybe..

What about that viscosity test at 210F temp mean anything? I think the main reason I do the test , is not to determine if I can continue to use the oil , but to see what its picking up as far as particulate. Nothing in the filter and nothing seen hear at the near microscopic level, which is good, especiallly how ive been beating on the engine lately.

A UOA will tell you if there is some serious mechanical issue via high particulate content. It' good for finding leaky air filers - high silicon, anti-freeze in the oil from leaky head gaskets, fuel dilution from injector/ignition issues, etc.

In a UOA the hot temp viscosity tells you if the oil is still in grade. All current automotive oil specs that I know of require an oil to stay in viscosity during service or it must be changed. So if it's still within the original viscosity grade and the TBN is good, you can extend the OCI. Your oil is still in spec for viscosity. In my experience most modern oils do not go out of spec in normal OCIs unless they have fuel dilution.
