My First Oil Anaysis

I was pretty pleased (PDF of report attached below). Soot at 0.8% after 7500 miles. (The high soot content comment in the report was computer generated and apparently can be disregarded).

Any of the other numbers mean anything to anyone?

How much did testing at this lab cost? They give a decent report. I'm looking at sending some oil to Blackstone here in the next couple of weeks myself...will report back then.

Cheers, John

$18.50 including shipping. I deliberately did NOT use Blackstone because they do not give a soot percentage.

PS Did you go to Duke? I'm an 83 grad.
