I was hoping to get to this a bit sooner—I’m sort of a stickler for keeping baselines accurate. I guess that was a bit of a pointless endeavor anyway. Intervals aside, the engine mileage keeps climbing. LOL.

Now that the HRC oil is out, we’ll send a sample off to Blackstone for testing as well. The results from the factory oil came back just a few days ago. Here’s what they had to say and what the test revealed.

So far, I’ve loved the HRC oil. Now I’m trying a widely reviewed oil that’s known to have the “right stuff.”
While I was down there doing my do, I remembered we had something for the occasion. I ran upstairs and grabbed some Spoon goodness. Once the oil finished draining, I installed this beauty of a drain plug we got from member Rev_Hi.






I need to print myself a funnel that can handle this five-quart jug. LOL. ESP going in!
The car was still warm, so I saved the radiator cap for another day. I did install the Spoon oil cap, also courtesy of Rev_Hi.
