I just got my first Blackstone results, and while originally was concerned about fuel dilution, was hit with a left hook that there's some coolant in my oil. This was changed at 77k after about 3k miles, had used Royal Purple that round but switched back to Amsoil when refilling.

Positive for antifreeze, and higher potassium levels. The analyst implies its very minor and not at a level that could be causing damage yet, which I guess is all the more reason to continue changing the oil early. Curious to know yalls thoughts or opinions, if you've ever encountered similar. My guess would be something around maybe the IC cracked slightly or something, but I'm also fearful that I am witnessing the one warning the water pump could give. Definitely sending my next oil change in for analysis as well.

Had some higher K levels at the first oil change after I had the water pump replaced. The next oil change after that, no K. So as the group recommended, just watch for the tell/tale discharge across the weep hole near the A/C compressor.
