Default Oil Analysis Recommendations

Was searching for some names of companies that do oil analysis - didn't find anything I could reference to get an address/procedure from. Want to send my oil out next time to get looked at to make sure everything is A OKAY. Any suggestions? How much do I need to save?

I have some prepaid oil analysis kits I will sell. I want $12 each. With the kit you will get the postage paid collection bottle and registration form. A complete turnkey kit. You will have your results in a couple weeks. Email me at: dtsngit@bellsouth.net if you are interested or want to disucss.

Call Blackstone and get a kit. The kit will contain all you need. Once you get the kit, specify you want Terry Dyson Analysis, #46. It cost $35. Blackstone will conduct the test and forward the results to both you and Terry. Terry will follow up with his interpretation of the results and most likely a series of questions to help with his interpretation. Well worth the money, I do this every year on my Vette.

I use Blackstonelabs.com also great info and money spent. I did 1500 all track miles and they told me go 2500 then change. People changing at 3,000 is a total waste of time and money. Do my diesels trucks and heavy equipment and the race car.
