Oil analysis who are you using?

[nobby]

Well I was using AVLubes however George has sadly passed on and the company has changed hands, they now no longer offer analysis with TBN. So looking to change any suggestions?

Cheers

same with me..been using blackstone for years for my boat.. very detailed, including recommendations for better lubrication according to oil contamination.. start a file with them and your engines history and reports are recorded for overall time based analysis so you can see if its getting better or worse..

very helpfull in the long run..

I will agree with the two above, Blackstone! I have never herd any negative words about Blackstone. Everybody praises them, I will use them when I finally get my hands on my truck. Here is a link for them;

One suggestion is if you do it for determining extended oil interval, get the TBN test. This is included with Amsoil/OAI but extra cost with Blackstone.

If the objective is to determine if you have a head/gasket failure, coolant on oil, you don't need the TBN test.

Blackstone Labs does a very good job.

We do just as well, cheaper (DTR discount applies). My analysis kits include TBN, and prepaid postage via either UPS, or US Postal Service.

Wrecker's lab is who I used last time good service, good price, actually I had considered going back to Dino Oil Rotella, but thought of $$$ possibly being possibly being funneled back to rag head land, I have since decided to buy synthetic Amsoil even though it costs a little more.
