Oil Analysis 104K Miles
I know that some of you might think that this is overkill ('cause it is!) The car is a DD and I'm the original owner. It has never been tracked. The report says that it has been making iron for 30K miles, but all seems well.

When I ran a Maintenance Garage for a big Construction Company I used oil analyzes for all machines from welders to 100 ton cranes it is always good to know what is going on !!!!! It's your car maintain it the way you want !!!!!!

I've got a report from Blackstone that says my engine is fine too. Only problem was the engine self destructed the next day. I've seen several LS engines get great reports from Blackstone and then find out the engine was in the middle of a disaster. Each time Blackstone's excuse has been "The pieces of metal in your filter were too big for us to detect in analysis." Guys, you can't make big pieces without making little pieces. Do some research before you start relying on Blackstone. Cut your filters and see what's really going on.
