The wife and I drove from Elkhart, IN today to Fort Wayne, IN to Blackstone headquarters. Maggie was nice enough to give us the tour. And once back in the actual lab the guys were very nice about explaining what each machine did. It's actually smaller business with I would guess 12 or so employees in the building.
We were there this morning and received the report via email late this afternoon. I think I was put on the rush list as a courtesy.
Here is my sample. Second oil change first at around 2,900 miles and second around 15,200. Oil had 12,297 miles on it with no oil added between changes.
Wow, TBN at 5.7 sure looks like you go an easy 15K between changes!
Less than .5 percent fuel delusion, not bad for a emissions vehicle.

The question is not being able to go 15k miles on a OCI, but to extend FCA's 6 month max policy via oil analysis.
Cummins,
I'm surprised Blackstone didn't recommend in writing to go further on your next OCI. Wonder why?
Likely because he didn't check the box requesting "are you interested in extended oil changes". :B
