Any alternatives to Blackstone Labs for oil analysis?
I'm approaching my first oil change. Over a month and a half ago I filled out Blackstone Lab's form on the internet for a free test kit. I called a couple of weeks ago and requested one. I still have not received a test kit. Is there an alternative to Blackstone Labs in the US that can provide just as good information?

The other one I am aware of is Dyson Labs. Look around over at http://theoildrop.server101.com/cgi/ultimatebb.cgi and you should be able to find information on them.

I send mine to the big dogs - Quaker State or Pennzoil. They have excellent labs - I have seen some bizarre results and analyses from Blackstone. The analysis kits are available at Pennzoil distribution centers - or check under Oil Companies in the Yellow Pages.

The format is a little different than Blackstone but covers all the same stuff, plus it includes acid & base measurements, which I think are helpful in determining the oil's useful life.
