At least in my experience with aeroplanes, Blackstone does a very nice job in their comments interpreting the results.Getting a report is one thing, but what of us that have no idea how to interpret it?

Yeah, you can't pull over on the shoulder of the road...…….actually, truth be known, engine failure at 500 feet is worse…much fewer options.
500 ft?!? What are you doing in your Bronco? I only got 6 ft at best in my 5th gen...…….actually, truth be known, engine failure at 500 feet is worse…much fewer options.
Your not trying hard enough! LOL.500 ft?!? What are you doing in your Bronco? I only got 6 ft at best in my 5th gen...
This analysis was done on the factory fill. I refilled with Costco’s pure synthetic and a Purolator filter.Can you tell us what brand and type of oil and filter you use
Good results for a new ecoboost. Zinc is predictably low. I'd be interested to see how many Broncos have the dual turbo failures like the F150's have.I sent a sample to Blackstone for analysis after my first 1,000 mile oil change. In short, everything looked good. I've attached my report as a reference.
I work at a natural gas transmission company, and we run oil analysis on ~350 reciprocating and turbine engines on a monthly basis. It's allowed us to address a lot of issues over the years, before they could result in catastrophic failure. I'm a big believer in doing it at least once a year on my cars. At $30/analysis, it's cheap insurance.

Can tell me the part number for the Purolator filter... and did u use the boss?This analysis was done on the factory fill. I refilled with Costco’s pure synthetic and a Purolator filter.
This is the one I used. I’ll probably try to keep oil change intervals below 4K miles, depending on use. Oil analysis at least once a year.Can tell me the part number for the Purolator filter... and did u use the boss?
Are you going to post your next oil change analysis at 5k
Yeah, mine had 151 at 2500 miles in a 2.3L. I am hoping someone waits the full 5k to get their first and sends in an analysis. We're guinea pigs.Did you notice the high Molly? They put extra from the factory, (pretty typical) to help new engines.
This is one of my arguments as to why I'm against draining the factory oil too soon.
To compare, my Oil Analysis for a different car, well broke in and using Mobil 1 has a Moly of only 71.
I know this isn't comparing apples to apples because this is an entirely different engine, but I do 10k oil changes with mobile one and this was a 50k lab result...
If it was a Cessna high wing that sucker would glide for miles lolI do Blackstone analysis at each oil change in my Grumman Tiger. A single report doesn’t mean much but trends can reveal a great deal.
Engine failure at 8500ft often doesn’t end well.
