 Blackstone Oil Analysis: 15,900 miles



See attached. My car is a rediculous garage queen. I am thinking I should buy a restored tii and drive it every single day to make up for my crimes.

OK, how and where do I get an oil analysis. Yeah, I know the name is Blackstone, but how do I do this and where are they?

Sounds like a boiler plate response to me. If your engine has issues, you will know it, no test necessary.

It will be smoking, leaking, or burning.

So's mine. I just got my report for 13,600 miles; it's exactly the same as yours except my copper is 4 and my lead is 2. Both engines are doing very well.

Bob, Blackstone is http://www.blackstone-labs.com/

You call them and ask for sample containers. Maybe you can do it online, I dunno. They send them. When you are changing your oil and the oil is hot, you stick a container they give you into the stream and you obtain a sample. I wait to draw the sample. I don't take the first oil out and I don't take the last oil either. [Side note: I am sure there is variation here too, per LimitedSlip discussion in another thread]

Once you have the sample, you put it into the container they give you, you pay $20 or so, and about a week later they email/mail you lab results.

I'm not sure the data is worth having, but I have $20 worth of fun doing it so I'm sticking to it.
