The most popular lab in the US would be Blackstone Labs, but Wearcheck is also a great lab (that's who I use here in Canada, lucky for me they are located 5 minutes from my work, making sample dropoffs easy and my turnaround time is usually under 48 hours!)

Interesting stuff. Maybe I feel a little better about my oil load.

The only thing I would add on the analysis sheet is TBN. It's the TBN level that actually tells you how much add pack is left. This analysis did not have a TBN done. Other than that, doesn't look to bad.

Go to their web site listed at the bottom of mine and they will send you info and materials needed to start oil analysis when you ask. The cost is $25 when they receive your sample

TBN cost another $10 and I was changing the oil anyway. Going longer between changes is really not my goal here. Just piece of mind, on a totally new engine design, before possible mods to programming
