here's my oil sample - tree98 - 08-15-2017

well how does it look? it's a cm870 with a little over 20,000 hours on it. Mandate was removed about 1,000 hours ago and has had about 6 oil changes since.[attachment=2999]

Since nobody has responded I guess that means everything looks normal

At a glance, I did not see anything that stood out.

There is a whole lot more to ensuring someones de-mandate is safe for the engine than just oil sampling.

What does your boost get up to max if you push it during a long hill climb? -- Oil temps in a long pull? -- EGT's (or manifold temps)?

What color is your oil generally? -- How long does it take to turn dark?

Any black smoke when you get on it in low rpm regions?
