CT5-V Oil Change Report/Health

[LongGrayLine16]

So, I am 5 oil changes into nearly 3 years of ownership and just less than 16k miles. I have done oil change analysis reports for each change and probably have enough data at this point to see that the engine and components are generally broken in. On the 5th change (most recent), I also submitted the same sample to SPEEDiagnostix to see if there is any truth to who is the “better” service. Not sure they are worth 2-3x what Blackstone charges.

Does anyone else have any history they would like to share?

I like Speed Diagnostix/Lake Speed Jr. but he/they are proud of their analysis. If you can do without the write-up's, I think the Oil Analyzers lab (available for purchase thru Amsoil website) is generally regarded as the best lab and bang-for-buck.

I’ll have to look into the amsoil one. I’ll probably never do the SPEEDiagnostix again. Paying $100+ for the same info. And seeing how much they spend on packaging that literally gets thrown away. Just seems like a general waste.
