Blackstone oil analysis from my last oil change
Sent my oil from my last oil change to Blackstone Labs for an oil analysis to see how my engine is wearing and how well the oil is standing up. Everything looks good, per Blackstone I could've extended another 2000 miles

It was in my car about a year and a little over 5000 miles. I last changed my oil around when the pandemic first started. I did a few long distance high speed trips, so the oil did get a beating

Nope lol. As you can see from the report, oil still has more mileage left. Modern synthetic oil can go much longer. Most of the viscosity break down is due to fuel dilution as my work commute is about 15 minutes each way

If my commute was more like my wife's where she has to drive in lots of traffic (30 miles a day), I would probably park my IS and get an EV. The only maintenance we have to perform is battery inspection and tire rotation every 7500 miles. Plug her in at night and she's fully charged in the morning. The cost of her commute before was about $200 a month in gas, now it's more like $40 a month in electricity. No oil/trans/engine services, no leaks, oil dilution issues to worry about.
OK, back on topic!

What oil manufacturer was the oil analysis based on (Pennzoil Ultimate 5W 30 etc.)?

Pole Position
The exact same V8 engine in Toyota vehicles for the rest of the world recommends heavier weight ... so I use 5w-30 Mobile-1 Extended Performance. Unless living in a polar climate ... 0w-20 is too thin IMHO. Replace the plastic oil filter housing with an aluminum housing ... many posts in this subject.
