Certainly if you want to do a deep dive, TAN is the number you want, along with TBN.  The crossover point is important.  Fuel dilution and coolant in oil are both important given the nature of direct injection and the duratec lineage.  You CAN get more detailed chemistries, but what we normally see is the most widely used/affordable.

As for critiquing vendors, we welcome open & honest discussion, when conducted in an adult & responsible manner, with an appropriate amount of accompanying restraint.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Assembled and test fit an aluminum motorcycle hauler. It looks super wide in the photo, but it's actually the same width as the vehicle. I'm in the market for a dirt bike and wanted to be prepared for the deal of a lifetime. Added some reflective tape for good measure. :)

I got the blessing and closed the deal before she changed her mind. :P

Must have been a lightning deal then (trademark Amazon)!

Sent in a 10,383 mi sample of motor oil (Amsoil SS 5W/30) to Blackstone today. Getting a little uncomfortable, as that is the longest OCI I've ever done, LOL. Anxious to see the results.

Amsoil claims 15,000 mi service in severe duty applications (which includes turbocharged). We'll see... #Science

In for the results as this will be interesting.

For the newby, I am guessing that is for your meth habit?

Ha! Not a habit yet... just getting the needed materials before the kit shows up...tune should be ready by Monday... kit should show up around then too...

Figuring it can't be harder than wiring up sound systems, car alarms, or remote starts...

I did my 1st performance test with the Livewire.  Ran a 0-60test from stop @ idle single foot and ran 4.56sec. 
That is with no weight removal, fully stock'13 with over 3/4 tank of fuel.

Thinking might shave a little bit off if I boost brake start, but I was pleased that it ran that quick.
