196,064 mile 35d Blackstone Oil Report

This is the 2nd sample I sent to Blackstone for analysis. The first sample I submitted had 11,849 miles on the oil and 161,710k miles on the engine. The second sample was just sent earlier this month. Oil had 13,692 miles and the engine had 196,064k miles when the oil sample was taken and the oil was changed.

I use Rotella T6 in my 35d and my 335d. I also use an oil additive called Archoil 9100 and BMW or MANN oil filters. Rotella T6 is a great oil to run in the 35d.

I've attached both samples for review.

How long have you been using Rotella T6?

For the tdi's it wasn't the greatest so we used Mobil truck and SUV. But when we got the Jetta with the DPF, we moved to a low SAPS formula like Total Ineo.

I'm just wondering how long this formula has been low SAPS And acceptable for a DPF'd diesel.

Most of the guys who do move to T6 did a delete in the tdi world.

Nice results!

I ran T6 in my 35d for around 85k before I did the deletes and just over 100k miles total on T6. Not sure what was used prior to purchasing the X5 but, I use T6 in everything I own tractor, quads, cars, trucks etc. They all get T6 and Archoil lovin.
