I received the analysis of the oil from my 3 week old 1.5 L turbo coupe at 2100 miles. The first 600 miles were primarily twisty back roads with lots of elevation change. After that it was mostly freeway miles with a 600 mile round trip to Death Valley. I saw a very slight rise in the oil level on the dipstick which was confirmed by the slight fuel dilution of the oil. This I've read is typical of a direct injection engine but should diminish as the rings continue to seat. I do my own maintenance and changed the oil to Mobil 1 EP 0W20 with a Honda Filtech oil filter. I don't have the ability to edit the PDF from Blackstone which contains personal information, but the analysis was what Blackstone expected for a new engine. Thanks!
