Oil analysis kits

Limeybastard · 08-25-2014, 11:34 AM

I am thinking about sending my first oil change and second oil change for analysis to Blackstone labs. Does anyone know how much oil they need per analysis?

EDIT. Just messed up and put in wrong forum, sorry.

Gas Sampling

3OZ at minimum.

you just fill the thing they give you...

easiest to do is unscrew the drain plug, let a bunch of oil drip into the drain tray, then fill your container midway through

Shoot, I just realized something. I saved my first and second oil change via the oil drain pan then into the 5 quart oil containers. I guess it is contaminated now ?

Yes, all the particulates will have settled. Just do it on your next change.

PS Still saved the oil filter lol.
