Blackstone Labs Oil Analysis
Hey guys, I've been out of pocket lately due to some personal things. I sent a sample of my break-in oil from my X5 50i to Blackstone labs per the usual. I drive my X5 rather hard, so the results below are a little surprising. I'm not sure if I trust the dealer who pulled this sample but I still have about 8oz of oil in a container from what they gave me. It's definitely 0W30 per Blackstone but take the results as you may. I'm curious to see someone else's sample from a '19 50i for comparison.

here's my 2nd service. I forgot to write down the mileage on my form for the sample but it was done at ~18385 miles based on my fill-up right before taking it in a mile away from that gas station. This means I had 9546 miles on this oil for reference. I'm shocked my engine is so clean compared to my B58, even Blackstone seems pleased with the results. It's interesting to see how they didn't completely flush things our last time due to the high TBN as noted.
has anyone else run theirs through Blackstone Labs? This engine seems solid and performs as such I followed break-in procedures for the first 1000miles (not 1200) but I did use cruise control during that time, although I varies the RPM by changing speed peridically
