- In this video, I dive into the results of an in-depth oil analysis conducted on my truck's engine oil after running it for 8,000 miles. With the help of Blackstone Labs, I uncovered some insights about the health and performance of my engine.
Join me as I walk you through the detailed report from Blackstone Labs, highlighting key findings such as wear metals, contamination levels, and overall oil condition. I’ll explain what these results mean for my truck's engine health and share tips on how you can use oil analysis to monitor and maintain your own vehicle.
Whether you’re a truck enthusiast, a DIY mechanic, or just curious about the science behind oil analysis, this video provides valuable information on the importance of regular oil testing and what you can learn from it.

Thanks for following along! Let me know what questions you have.
Longest run on same oil for me was just under 12,000 miles. Leaving from central US To the Arctic Ocean on the Canadian side - full run of the Dempster - also up the Dalton to the Arctic Circle - all over Alaska. Schaeffer's OTR plus 5W-40 full synthetic. Analysis showed shockingly good oil with no or negligible contaminants. My routine is to change at 6000 which typically means I change it a 6500. After the 12k run the biggest surprise for me was zero silicates after thousands of miles in very heavy dust. Major testament to Banks Ram Air filter setup with paper filter in 2019 factory location.
You could add an AMSOIL FORD 6.7L SINGLE-REMOTE BYPASS SYSTEM. My cost which is your cost is 443.00. Or you could go with the universal kit for 282.00. They get rid of the soot! And sample from there. Yes I run Amsoil in Everything, do my own trannys flushes, gear lube, 100: 1 2 stroke oil, everything! 97 cummins with 394,000 Runs Perfect no blow by and perfect compression. 5 seed NV4500 shifts perfect. In closing..I ran Signature Series in a crown vic 4.6 for 35,000 miles total hiway driving and this was after a 25000 mile report from blackstone. They told me at 25000 i had 9000 "usable safe miles" left in that oil. So i took her to 35. I sold the car with lots of miles on her & was running as strong as when i got her used with 65000! Oh Yea I loved your video!!
Looking forward to future reports.
If you want to save your expensive oil get an Amsoil bypass filter kit. Guarantee you’ll be doing far more miles between oil changes. Amsoil is expensive and you will save a massive amount of time and money with the bypass system.
Really enjoying following this! Can't wait for the next one.
I've used Blackstone and Horizons (amsoil) blackstone is 3+ weeks Horizons 10 days
Good info thx. I also test the oil from my duramax and change it around 7.5k. Test reports indicate I could go another 2 or 3k and test again. I alternate rotella T5 in summer and T6 in winter. I recommend a bypass filter in addition to the stock oil filter. Stock filters catch approximately 20 micron chunks. Most bypass filters can catch particles in the 1 - 3 micron range.
You said you have used both Speed and Blackstone - can you recommend one over the other?
Sounds like you put a lot of miles on in a short time period. Maybe go by and tell the engine hours on the oil. Chevrolet use to have a way to pull that up.
