Default Motor Oil Test

Does anyone know the name and address of the company that some of the fourm members have sent samples of their oil for testing? I've got a 1990 Corvette vert with removable hardtop in my shop that has 255 miles on it. I'm just interested to see what condition the 17 year old oil is in.

yep blackstone is good, keep us posted. If they don't know the oil they may not know how many/much additives it should have.
