Did you just get the standard $25 test or did you pick some of the special categories?

correct - just $25 report. If they saw something, i'd have them do more analysis if needed...for now, pretty happy. 116k miles on it!

Here is an article that discusses how to read and interpret a UOA, and happens to use one of the Blackstone Labs reports as an example.
Engine Oil Analysis - Bob is the Oil Guy - Bob is the Oil Guy

Edit: it looks like he paid the extra $10 and got the TBN value at the bottom which appears to be the amount of additives left in the oil.

Is this a typo? I am not aware of any Mobil product 15W40. Do you mean 5W40 (turbo diesil) or 15W50? Thanks. Good looking report.

Since my 01, with 36K miles, still has the original IMS and RMS bearings, I can see that this Oil Analysis is going to be a standard practice in my oil changes from this point forward.
Great thread!

Correct - that is a typo. 15w/50 is what I use...
