Default oil analysis recommendation

I'm trying to find out my options for having my oil analyzed.. I know of Blackstone labs,, Are there others and if there are does one do more than another?.. Pricing info? Any info is appreciated

Tops is Terry Dyson of Dyson Analysis. Terry will provide a report, interpret the results and make recommendations if he finds an issue. He is also one of the few that can accurately interpret Redline oil results. He is very good at what he does. I have used him for years. His rates just went up, I think it is about $100 now.

Depends on what analysis you want done. Blackstone charges $22.50 for a standard analysis. Other analyses are done on an optional basis and are priced on their web site.

Blackstone's standard analysis reports suit me and they have made recommendations as well.
