Elevated Silver in first Blackstone oil report. Stock 2012 WRX Sedan.
 

So, first subie and I love it, after my totaled Rallifart I came to the darkside (subie guys were always friendly and Mitsu community was nonexistent).

Anyways, now that i'm 50,000+ I decided to try out these oil reports some people talk about just for ****s and giggles, except I have a very high Silver reading. I'm running rotella T6 last 3 changes but really can't tell a difference one way other another after I switched from RP and have been using it cause it's cheap.

I have never modded the car but I did buy it at 30,000mi so idk what was done to it prior but i'm worried now because of this. Any ideas or should I stop worrying?

I found very little attempting to search for Oil analysis, Blackstone and Silver on here and only a few not helpful on other forums. If you search for Oil or any words with it you find the never ending posts about which is the best..

:noidea: Any ideas? Is Daisy about to kick it? I got another filter and have been considering doing a short interval to send away for comparison but I don't know if it would help, nor do I know how to check if the bearings are dying.

Help me I-clubonekanobi, you're my only hope since when I asked Heedz all he said was "Thats weird, i'm going to Vegas."

..I hope a tranny makes out with him.:giggity:

:spit:


But silver is alarming. It could show a bearing issue in this engine. Watch oil pressure and check back.

You both are fired.

Wouldnt there be other metals significantly raised though?

Apparently not. :noidea:


Bearings are pure silver? :noidea:
