Oil analysis thread

So during my last oil change, I collected an oil sample and sent it to Blackstone Labs for an oil analysis. I figured since I just passed the 50k mile mark, I would see how the engine is holding up so far. I also wanted to see how much oil life I had left after my 5k mile oil change.
I figured other people might be interested in seeing various oil analysis's since oil type is a big topic on the forums.
So if anyone else has done an oil analysis, post it up!

I've done 2 analysis reports from Blackstone and am going onto my third with my next oil change. I'm running Mobil 1 5W-20 with good results and am waiting until a 10,000 mile interval on the next test, per Blackstone's recommendation. Why are you running 5W-30, because you have a V6?

I'm running 10w30 actually. Paul recommended it to me for better engine protection.

I'm going to try this on my next change. I'm hesitant to go that thick in the winter.

I run 10w30 on my car. The only thing I've noticed is that my oil pressure is higher before my car is warmed up.

I switched to regular 5-20 from synthetic 5-20 at my oil change. I think I'm gonna keep it like that. Plus it saves me like $40.

Oh, 10W-30, my bad. Is this a V6 thing, or could 4-bangers with light mods benefit too? Not sure if the cold New England climate would work well with it though...?

Keep in mind that I'm also running a modified motor that takes 5w30 from Honda/Acura.
