My first Blackstone oil test.

Oil had 4000 miles with a dozen track days. What are your thoughts?

Didn't see anything alarming from your report. Here's mine to give you an idea on the average numbers(in parts per million). I change the oil every 6 track days or after sitting unused for the winter months.

Looks good. Appears it has the typical Mobil 1 0W40 shear down that we often see.

Indeed, either use Mobil 1 5w50 or switch to Driven DI-40 if you track your car.

Agree with the viscosity comments. I’m going to try M1 5W50 for the next change. LiquiMoly 0W40 tested in spec BTW but the 0W is. Or likely needed for many of us. Even those in colder climates.
