My old 2010 SS had 736 so I wouldn't call it high.

Nice! It's good piece of mind getting an oil test done.
I love Blackstone. After every track season, I send a sample to Blackstone to make sure she is good for another season.

Last year, I did the most track days yet on the oil.

I probably have about 5 of their mail-in kits on my work bench.
