Used Oil Analysis @9k miles using Redline 5W-30
 
I changed my oil this past Saturday and sent it off for analysis. Here are the results. :tiphat:

Sex, Which filter did u go with?

semtex 03-10-2010 06:28 PM

K&N. I'm also using a Filtermag and a magnetic drain plug.

LateralG'z 03-10-2010 06:30 PM

nice, i am definitely doing this soon to my car.

Hard to argue with cold hard facts, looks like the Redline is doing you good.

Vegasboricua 03-10-2010 06:42 PM

Pretty nice. I'm still debating wether or to use Redline or Amsoil still

semtex 03-10-2010 06:43 PM

Oh and I have an oil cooler. I have no idea how much difference that makes to these results, but I figure I might as well mention it. It's Stillen's street-version cooler/kit with the 19-row Setrab core, not their larger one.

CBRich 03-10-2010 06:59 PM

Do you have the oil cooler that mixes the oil with outside air through the high pressure hose to cool it or just the standard type?

semtex 03-10-2010 07:01 PM

Um, the standard type, I think.

Used Oil Analysis
 
That's gotta make you feel good. Obvious good break in by you.

Semtex, was your RL oil like mine? I changed it just over 9K. But it looked unusual.

semtex 03-10-2010 07:38 PM

No, mine looked normal. Yours does indeed look unusual. I hope everything's okay with your engine.

Sharif@Forged 03-10-2010 08:45 PM

Looks great and 9K street miles is impressive. Any oil consumption?

And we going to Road Atlanta this weekend? Wanna come, even just to hang out?

Nice ben! :tup: Your Viscosity/flash point etc number are similar to mine (which looks pretty good IMO).

First they asked me to keep it 5000 mile interval. This time they suggested me to do my next change after 6000 miles. Slowly increasing my interval as they are suggesting me :tup:

Here are some of others I have seen :ugh2: (non Redline)

This is good to see. I have used Redline in all of my cars exclusively for the last 7 years.
