Thank you...I saw something similar to that and still didnt get the significance of the statement that folks were glad to see that it took a while for the copper levels to drop.

buy one of these and take out the oil just before you take it to the dealer.


cause you can not trust the dealer to give you your oil
I tried to use this kit with many different tubing, but never succeeded. Oil stick tube on Hemi is so long and bended, with such a small diameter how to reach oil level?

I'd think they make a fortune off BMW E90/ E92/ E93 M owners
S65 is notorious for rod bearing issues and quite a lot of owners send in a sample at every oil change to see if the bearings are showing signs of age.
Judging from being on this forum a while they make a fortune from Ram owners...

Both them and the boutique oil manufacturers that have so many here believing they need the extra protection of special supercalifragilisticexpialidocious oil in there HEMI for it to last more than 27 miles. This despite the OP using dealer oil and the recommended weight and at 100k miles, engine is still in excellent health
