First oil analysis from my CPO 2015 LS.
Bought my 2015 Camaro LS in November with 17k miles, and over the course of 2 months, I put around 6,700 miles on it, and had to replace about 2 quarts of oil. I wasn't sure what the dealer was running, so I keyed in Valvoline to Blackstone., but I'm now running Amsoil Signature Series Full Synthetic 5w30 and a WIX filter.
Just thought I'd share my results so that anyone considering Blackstone could have a look at what they'll receive.

In 6700 miles you had to add 2 qts of oil. That would concern me. Is that why you are testing/analyzing the oil?

Thanks for both of your replies. GMTool, I'm actually into analysis because I like to monitor internal component wear as best as possible. Kinda like an early warning indicator for future problems, in my opinion. And yeah the 3.6 LFX kinda has a bit of an oil ingestion issue, nothing crazy though.
Oh, I forgot, and should have noted that I believe the car came from the dealer about a quart shy, so that was likely a fill miscalculation.

On average I have gotten my results in 5-7 days (have sent 8 samples between 2 vehicles over the past few years). Ryan

How do you use the data?
Do you know the material make up of normal wear parts or use historical experience? My low mileage (21.5K) SS 2010 is also using a lot of oil. I just bought it and had to put in 2 quarts oil after 1000 miles (pretty hard driving) - but 2 quarts? Here are a couple of interesting threads:
