One sample had 7,669 mi and the other 7,423 mi Blackstone suggested I run 9K on the next oil change. TBN was 4.7 and 3.5.
Oil light change was within 2-300 miles of each sample.
I would guess 1/3 of those miles were towing. I use the AMZ/OIL LE 100% synthetic 15-40.
Pretty good! Something sure is eating that TBN thou, it's below what Cummins recommends.
I never was fond of Blackstone, inconsistent answers and you have to pay extra for TBN.
TBN did seem low to me also but they said to go 9K. Not me I will stick with the computer says since it will effect my warranty.
My oil level never increases during changes. Maybe I got a good one!
