I changed out the factory fill at around 6k with Sig Series 5w30 and a Wix XP filter. I had plans on leaving it in for 10k, an emergency road trip came up, and so I decided it was better to get it done then. The amsoil stayed in till 9900 miles which was 0% on the oil life meter.
According to the lab that did the test tbn is listed as "base number". So the oil held up fine. I asked them about fuel dilution and the response was "if there was an abnormal amount of fuel we would have listed it". This was from the lady who answered the phone. She did say she would have the tech who ran my sample to give me a call and explain further. I'm hoping they can give me an actual number... Just for the sake of curiosity.
So far I'm not really concerned with fuel dillution. I checked my oil regularly and it never increased. Towards the end of the 9900 miles I used a little less then a half quart. I never replaced it because it was coming time for an oil change anyway.
I do a mix of hwy/city and do Uber 3 to 4 times a week.. So plenty of stop/go and idling. I've also had a Livernois 87 tune installed at 1k on the odo.
