Trace amounts of lead in oil?
Blackstone oil analysis came back with some trace amounts of lead...
Thinking the local pump 100 octane unleaded race fuel might contain some small amounts of lead maybe? Are there any components in the N55 that contain lead? Looking at that flash point makes me want to switch oil...

Well that sucks. They label the pump as unleaded 100...
How much life did I take off my new o2 sensors?

I had 4 ppm and 1 ppm show up in previous reports on my N55, never run anything other than 93octane. My iron is a tad lower as well 16's. It could be parts wearing as well from what blackstone has told me in the past.
