so if Blackstone gives OK, does that mean you can go linger than 6 months. will you have to ship it to them each time, and what is the cost
The Chrysler guys said if I had oil analysis to back up the oil was good that going the full 15K will be fine with going over the 6mo. They said if you don't have any documentation and consistently go over 6 mo and have an oil related claim they most likely deny warranty.
I think the analysis and cost with the TBN result is around $27. They do recognize Blackstock as a reputable oil analyzer.
I did call them today and I will be taking the sample directly to them hopefully tomorrow.
So what condemnation levels on this Blackstone oil analysis do these FCA guys claim is acceptable (i.e. fuel percent, insolubles, TBN, flashpoint, soot, TAN, viscosity, etc...etc..)?
Bottom line if they don't back their condemnation levels in writing, then their statement is not even worth passing along heresay rumors and is downright irresponsible.

It makes dealer service department income.
The Chrysler Reps at May Madness said they can deny you warranty if you go beyond 6 mo if you have a oil related claim. They also said if you have a oil analysis stating oil is good beyond the 6 mo they will accept running the full 15K even if it tales longer than 6mo to get to 15K.
I changed mine at 4K and again at 15K just a few days ago. It was well over 6 mo. I did take a sample to see how the oil looks with 11K on it.
Cummins, did you pull a sample at the 15,000 mile change? If so what were the results and who did the testing.
