G’day,
With all the discussion about Dan’s engine I just sent the message in to
Blackstone Labs.
I just installed a rebuilt engine in my GMC Motorhome and I would like to
know when I should take the first oil sample? I have been instructed to
drive the vehicle about 500 miles then change the oil and filter. I was told
that was because a newly rebuilt engine will generate a lot of "stuff"
during the break in process. I would assume that it's not worth it to send
in a sample of the 500 mile oil? After the 500 mile oil and filter change I
will start the normal oil change cycle of 3000 miles and send in a sample
from that change for a base line. Comments please. Thank you, Rob PS - It
might be a good idea to include your response on your FAQ page.
Regards,
Rob Mueller
