That's fine and well, but Chupacabra wants to know what's in the composition of differing brands of oil. If you don't think that's a worthwhile inquiry, that's fine, you're certainly entitled to your opinion. But I'm just pointing out that doing a Blackstone analysis isn't going to get Chupacabra the answer to his question is all. By answering his question the way you did, you could lead him to spend $22.50 on something that won't even give him the info he's looking for. That's not cool, man. (Can you imagine him sending fresh unused oil to Blackstone?) So I'm warning him that Blackstone won't give him the info he's seeking. Will Blackstone give him good, valuable info on what's in his used oil? Yep, you bet they will. I plan to send them my own used oil for analysis. But that's not what Chupacabra is looking for right now. I'm just trying to save the guy from spending $22.50 on the wrong thing.
