I would... Only problem is the time it takes to get results. A good buddy of mine bought a used cummins that was in fantastic condition, but 200k miles. Took the truck home, pulled a sample, go the results it w/ severe bearing wear! Truck was returned to dealership with oil results with no questions asked.

I plan to get that done every 25k miles

Run the oil at least 5k miles and then send a sample to Blackstone. if there is a turbo or other oil related problem you will notice the oil level going down. as for the fuel in the oil it is common for the EB. engine it is run slightly rich to control combustion temp because there is no EGR system. the fuel dilution is made worse by short trips and cold temps. mine showed a slight increase in fuel in the oil but Blackstone said not to worry. Because of the test results Im going send the next sample at 8k miles and depending on results may go to 10k

I would. It'd be a warranty thing so I don't think it'll cost you anything.

If the truck has thrown no codes (which it probably has not) you may be hard pressed to get them to do anything as expensive as a compression test or tearing down the turbos. Let us know what they say and/or do for you.

Get it on file with the dealer asap. I sent my oil to blackstone from my first oil change and he told me the same of raw fuel in the oil. My tailpipe is black as well, but i think that's due to the DI engine.

Good luck

Something you read said a bad turbo? Where did you read that and can you give us a link? Or are you just blowing blue smoke?

Turbocharged? Direct Injected
