Blackstone Oil report

Someone? · 02-13-2014, 07:48 PM

It's for my 2011 with 16,268 miles at the time of analysis, and the Oil had over 9,000 miles on it. Needless to say my oil will never go that long again, im thinkn about changing it around ever 6k.

What do you think?

I was doing every 7500, and went down to every 5000. change your oil and filter frequently!

What are we comparing it to? Need to establish a baseline for your specific car and go from there. So do another analysis after 5K and see how the numbers compare.

Blackstone has a paragraph explaining that it is in good shape and also compares it to the averages on the far right column. So as they state: "nice report" no reason to second guess it.

i would still recommend 7500 miles max, personally.

You go 9k miles on the oil and receive an excellent report and writeup from Blackstone...yet you interpret that as you need to drastically reduce your OCI?

Agreed. There is nothing to discuss here, 7500 and be done with it. Unless you track often, just split the BMW recommendation in half. If you only put a couple thousand miles on the car a year than do it annually.
