Stop in for a cup of coffee

When I was truck pulling and working for the team, we tried everything one could think of to squeeze power. Including oils.

The best advice, forget the advertising, send off your oil to a company that does oil sample testing. They can tell you the microscopic parts of metal that are in your oil and how well it’s protecting and lasting.

The filter brand is highly important as well, if you’re running a fram or Walmart type special, forget the oil supplements, upgrade the filters, then the oils.

Oil sampling is cheap and you might be surprised at the results.

You are referring to BlackStone Labs and the information you get is only as good as your ability to interpret what it means. For most average drivers, it is a waste of time and money to do oil analysis. Most don’t understand what the results mean or how to put them into contex for their application.

The general rule is to use an oil appropriately suited for your application and change it and the filter every 3-6k miles depending on your driving habits...and that’s pretty much all you need to know with modern oil on a street driver.
