I had an analysis performed by Blackstone labs on the oil I drained out of my crankcase Saturday. At 220,200 miles I was looking for assurances that everything internal is still good, or advance notification of a possible impending problem.
Perfect Results!
The oil was free of fuel, coolant and moisture. All metals were well within normal guidelines indicating no excessive wear on any mechanical components.
Synthetic oil since new with 5,000 mile Oil Change Intervals, usually Mobil-1 although this sample happened to be ELF 5W/40 NF.
This is the first time I have creaked open my wallet for an oil analysis, cost is right around $25 including postage to the Lab.
