Post Oil Analysis After Mods

hey guys
so after I did all my mods (listed in sig) I did the old school cam break in period where you run it for 20 minutes at various rpms then change the oil and filter.
this oil sample is AFTER that break in oil change and driven for close to 5,000KM (3,000mi)
I had no real reason for doing it other then I wanted too, and I was curious how everything looked. I attached the sheet for you guys to see

it was $25 and the kit was free, thats what kinda sold me on that company.
I paid an extra $10 for that bottom section testing, which also tells me how much further to go...I wont do that test next time, just the normal test. AND even though they said go longer...I'll still do it old school at 5,000KM haha

Blackstone is a great resource. They can tell you exactly whats going on inside your engine.

Blackstone is who I use as well. Like said above, great resource to give you an idea of what's going internally. I tried some various oils during testing as well and tat's what led me to use Rotella t6, I used to be a mobil 1 fan...

How much do you pay for RP? Why not run amsoil for that money?

Edit: what filter did you use with it?
Thanks for sharing it!
