Seems kinda sad to spend that much on oil and only use like 35% of its life. Guess I'll send it in to Blackstone Labs and ask them how it looks. I'll report back what they tell me.
Did you ever get the Blackstone results here?

Good call, sir I was kind of hoping I could do it on two jack stands, but I will be using four thanks to your comment
