I sent some to BlackStone for testing… should be interesting. Oil still looked interesting… definately no longer absorbing many contaminants. Lets just sya… your all still to low. I’m was sorta hoping to use the warranty for a new motor before it runs out… I’ll know what the deal is after the oils analized! :cool :nuts ---

I run diesel oil in my Corvette, and it costs me about 35 dollars for a full synthetic oil and filter change. I laugh when I read about Corvette retards going to a dealer to get their oil changed and paying like 110 bucks or whatever. IMO, if you own a modified car and don’t have the mechanical know how to change the oil, you should not own it in the first place. ---

Also don’t understand why people brag about going long periods of time or mileage without changing the oil. I could never drive/fly something knowing that I’m causing possible mechanical damage that a simple oil change could prevent. ---

I could never drive/fly something knowing that I’m causing possible mechanical damage that a simple oil change could prevent. There are a few reasons actually: Heres one… - Proving a point…to who?? To myself. I send my oil in for analysis all the time… and there are so many differences and cool comparisons, I long wanted to have the chance to go 25k+ miles and see drastic differences in the analysis. So yeah, stupidly risked a motor, or at least some wear, for …well… fun. That sounds idiotic . ---

what do you typically test for and what do you pay on average? ---

Standard analysis usually…(sometimes the Dyson…I ordered the Dyson for this long run)… will tell you what you need to know about the condition of your engine and how it’s wearing. The standard analysis costs $22.50 and includes the following: As per site: Spectral Exam: Establishes the levels of wear metals, silicon, and additives present in the oil. Also checks for coolant. Viscosity: Determines the grade of oil. Insolubles: Quantifies the percentage of solids present in the oil. Flash Point: Determines the flash point of the oil. We use the flash point to determine whether any contamination is present in the oil (determined when the flash is lower than the “should be” range).
