Kept it under 4k rpm for the first 500 miles and varied speed pretty constantly. First oil change at 500 miles. After 500 took it to redline multiple times, but still took it some what easy. At 1,000 miles drove it like I normally would. Chaged the oil (5W-40), diff fluid, and brake fluid at ~1,500 miles and had the first track day shortly after.

Are these all Mobil 1? I doubted that my dealer used Mobil 1 so I asked Blackstone. They seemed to think it was Mobil 1 but most of the additives and properties look different than yours. The oil was changed once before this at 500 miles with Penn Ultra.

It was Factory/break in, then I switched to Motul 0w-40 for a track event, and then the most recent was indeed mobil1

Looks clean, even after track use... Valvoline Syn Power 5W40, good stuff!

What service are you guys requesting on the Blackstone website?

I just requested the free gas engine kit. It comes in the mail and you just fill it up and send it back. You pay when you send it back. There is an option to pay more to test TBN in addition to the standard tests.

is it just me, or does it look like some of the 5w30 shown here is shearing down to near a 20wt at the end of the OCI?

Which one are you looking at? Every oil shear down in times anyway. One other reason track guys runs thicker oil.
