Thumbs up for blackstone labs!!! (reports attached)

just got my second report from blackstone. i had my engine replaced about 6K miles ago. i did oil change at 1500 miles and at 4500 miles since that. i sent both oil samples to blackstone lab for analysis. got my first report a while back and got my 2nd report just now. both are attached. if you never done a report with them, you should. not affiliated, just a happy customer (with knowledge that his engine is doing well).

i am a little worried about "viscosity was a little low" in the 2nd report. something i should address? and if so -- how?


1st report after 1500 on new engine:





2nd report after 4500 on new engine:

Interesting, with your cholestoral at 265, have you considered Liptitor as an additive ?

Actually, adding Lipitor will detach the rods from the crank just like it detaches your muscles from your bones when taken over long periods of time.

If it's a new car, you're gonna see this. The readings will change over a 10-12K mile period. I used to sell AMSOIL and did a number of tests thru blackstone and then the other company AMSOIL moved to, and on new cars, where break-in can extend further, you get readings like this... I'd not sweat it.
