Recommend you take an oil sample now or during the next oil change. Send the sample to Blackstone along with a note explaining whatās going on. Itāll be nice to have the test results available when discussing a remedy with the dealer. Or lawyers. Or forum members.
I took my Oil Life Monitor to 0%, (factory oil) and had the oil analyzed. Analysis indicated oil was still fine. Fine enough to continue driving much farther. Not recommending others do it. However, I'm going to continue using the OLM to 0%.
