BlackStone Lab Report
Wow, between the supercharger, the daily driving and the 1/4 passes, it sounds like you're giving this engine a run for its money. That’s okay -- it seems to enjoy the attention. Metals look great. This is one of the longer (not the longest, but close) oil runs across the page, but metals still look very good. Iron is a little higher than some other samples simply because of the longer run, but with other metals reading low, we know it's not making the oil abrasive. The TBN was fine (2.6), and sodium seems like additive (not coolant). Add 1,500 more mi to the oil.
You mentioned that you're concerned the transmissions life might be nearing the end. As far as we can see here, metals look great. They're lower than last time, but that's probably just because this oil run was shorter than the last. The oil was physically in good shape. Maybe there's something going on that's not related to poor wear -- like parts wearing out, perhaps? Just a theory. This oil can see more use, as far as we're concerned.:D
A Daily Driver that is driven to the track and run that way!
