Default Oil analysis

Thought I would share my results from Blackstone for the first analysis I had done. My owners manual calls for 15,000 / 7,500 for change intervals. I started at 7,500 miles per change when I bought the truck new and at 60,000 miles I switched to 10,000. Thought it would be prudent to get an analysis done before pushing any further than that.

Truck has had K&N oil filters and Valvoline Premium Blue since the first change. Now at almost 73,000 on the clock.
