1. What service do you recommend?

2. Do you get help with interpretation of results?

3. How much does it cost?

Thanks.

1. I've always used Blackstone Labs, & will continue to do so for comparison purposes, but you might want to try Avlube (http://store.avlube.com/automotive.html) since they are a supporting vendor on this site. Make sure you get the kit with the TBN, which will tell you how much "life" is left in your oil.

2. UOA explanation (http://theoildrop.server101.com/whatisoilanalysis.htm). You'll get a brief explanation with your results, plus you can also post your results here for opinions.

3. Around $20-$30, including shipping.

Deadfurrow,

Thanks for the response. Any one have direct experience from Avlube?

Avelube v. others?

Thanks again. Brian.

I use AVLube, I would highly recommend them. They send you a pdf file which has the history of all previous analysis all on one sheet as well.

Thanks,
Tim

Avlube is all that I have used - great service, a sponsoring vendor and personal attention from George Morrison on many of my samples.
