Oil Analysis Report

GMZ · 07-01-2009, 03:10 PM

I did this in my old 350 and my 4Runner. Its useful for determining how long to keep your oil I think and for any problems. Get a TBN test which will tell you how much of the add pack is left.

ETA: I used Blackstone and had good results with them. When I ran Syntec in my 350 according to the TBN numbers I could have run it to 10K, I was doing the 7.5K OCI at the time with Nissan filter.

I'm mailing off a batch to Blackstone for testing tomorrow. Doing it more out of curiosity than anything else to see what results come back.

My dad does it regularly for his airplane. Of course, when his engine fails he falls out of the sky (though his plane does have a parachute attached to it), and when ours dies we walk home. So I guess it makes the most sense for him to be doing it...
