Dan, at the very least, go to Blackstone's website and order their test kit. It's free. They don't charge you anything until you fill it with oil and send it back to them for analysis. But at least get the kit so that you have it in hand when you finally decide to drain some for analysis. Also, I don't know about others, but when I suggested that you go ahead and drain some and then top it off, I was thinking in terms of draining some to send to Blackstone, not to take to the dealer. Indeed, if you show up at the dealer with a Blackstone report showing abnormally high levels of wear, that's some massive ammo you have in hand which will hopefully preempt any of their BS denial.
