Is the Motor Oil Geek Right (Part 2)? I Put His Break-In Theory to the Test

Today we are looking at the second oil analysis on my 2026 Ram Rebel with the Hurricane engine. If you have been following along you know I am following the Motor Oil Geeks break in procedure which calls for oil changes at 500 miles 1500 miles 3000 miles and 5000 miles before switching to a normal interval. The first oil change at 600 miles showed elevated wear metals which is expected during initial break in. Aluminum iron copper and silicone were all higher than universal averages which confirmed that early oil change was probably the right call. Now at 1775 miles we have the second Blackstone report. The results are very interesting. Aluminum is cut in half compared to the first sample. Iron is cut in half. Copper dropped significantly and is now within normal range. Silicone is under control and fuel dilution is not present. Viscosity remains in spec for 0W20. In other words the wear trend is moving exactly how you would want it to move in a healthy new engine. In this video I walk through: The full Blackstone report Wear metals comparison between 600 miles and 1775 miles Why leaving the factory oil filter in during early break in may make sense How the Hurricane is trending so far Oil temperature observations in winter driving Why I am considering switching from 0W20 to 0W40 Climate based oil viscosity decisions Future oil analysis plans at 3000 and 5000 miles I also discuss whether a thicker oil like 0W40 could provide additional shear protection in hotter climates or under towing conditions and why oil choice should not be one size fits all across the country. So far the Hurricane looks strong from a wear metals standpoint. The real test will be once values stabilize and we begin comparing longer intervals and potentially different viscosities. I am also considering building a dedicated oil analysis database on my website where owners can upload and compare reports by engine year and model. Let me know in the comments if that is something you would use. If you are breaking in a new truck or just curious how modern turbo engines look under oil analysis this should give you some useful data. Thanks for watching and I will update again at 3000 miles.
