Re: Blackstone Report
Congrats!
I'm doing the oil analysis for exactly the same reasons as you are. So far all of mine have been great. I figure that the first time my silicon gets over the universal averages I'll either put on a new filter or switch the intake setup. I'm going to start playing with a "sock" that slips over my K&N after the next oil change to see what effect it has.
One thing to be aware of with the Cotton/Gauze setups is that their filtration efficiency actually increases the dirtier they get. If you clean it every 6k you're actually letting more "dirt" into your engine than if you cleaned it every say 12k or 18k. I'm trying to go 15k (3 5k oil changes) on mine and then I'm rotating it with a different filter that's been cleaned/oiled and sitting on the shelf. It would probably be even better if I went 20k between rotations.
Have a good one,
Dave
