Decided on a replacement for Go Man Go

Well, “alleged” engine issues. I think some actual data and analysis would put some of the rumors to bed. Extra content never hurts

What engine issues are you referring to? I've heard of one with a bunch of questions around it.

Everybody says spark plugs are junk and have misfire issues too.... and mine has zero.

It took 10,000 miles for the wear metals (mainly copper) to wash out of the Redeye engine I had in the old car.

That sounds about right. Blackstone Commented on a UOA I sent in at 5k one of my cars that sending in before 7500 isnt really worth it because of all the wear metals. They recommended to wait until 10,000 when its all mostly washed out.

Sending the first one is kinda pointless.

What do you mean? Sending the first oil sample in for testing has value in giving you peace of mind in case there was an issue like suspiciously high metal values now (assembly line defect). Or the reassurance that it is just break in materials and additives. To me, for $35, it was worth the cost.

All the metals are going to show high on a first oil change at 1,000 miles. Not gonna tell ya much.
