Just got the results from my latest oil analysis, the first since Trilogy #61 was installed, 13 months and 11,000 miles ago.
I meant to get a sample at the first oil change after the installation, but I completely spaced it, so this sample was from the second change. As soon as I can figure out how to edit a .pdf for personal info I'll post it, but I have to say that I am thrilled with the results. :beer:
I would like to thank Jerry and the whole design team at Trilogy for a wonderful product; Lidio for his most excellent tune, which is apparently keeping The Blackbird healthy; and a special thanks to the installation team of Ron and Scott at Fenner's Auto, for putting all the right parts in the right places. The numbers for Silicon / Fuel Dilution / Antifreeze / Water / and Insolubles show clearly that the motor is tight...

Under Order, see Free Test Kit. Analysis is $20. Turnaround is very quick once they get it - emailed report within a day.

^^^what The Bunny Lady said^^^
The folks at Blackstone are very easy to deal with, and they're always glad to talk to me on the phone.

I just hopped over to the site and pawed in my request.
A few nose twitches and ear flicks and it was done!
I'll just be fluffing my tail until the kit arrives now.
Thanks.

This lab has open my eyes to the use of synthetic oil, very good people to deal/work with.

To use synthetic or not??

I use Blackstone as well.
I've heard many opinions about oil life and various other oil related properties (don't ask me where) but getting actual quality laboratory results is awesome.
They got me off the 3,000 mile oil change cycle onto a 5,000 mile cycle and they have even recommended going a little longer next time. I have a change coming up at 35,000 after a change at 30,000 and I will send in another one. If they say 'go longer' again, I will do the next one at 42,000 or 42,500.
My wife's H**** is at a 7,500 interval.
HERE (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=6373) is my post regarding my first test. It contains some comments from Blackstone.
