Blackstone Labs Oil Analysis

[AXE]

Sorry to hear this AXE. Hope you sent him a picture of the tools required and the carnage to the oil filter. That is absolutely ridiculous and no excuse. To bad you can’t take the line tech out back and have a conversation.

I've known him for 25 years and he's been good to me. They have done a lot of good work for me and they have one of the best diesel techs, who always likes working on my stuff cause it's well cared for.

I wasn't looking for a fight and I just wanted him to know about it. He apologized and said he would talk with the tech. By the time he called me back, I had gotten it off and there wasn't any damage, so we had a good laugh about it.

This was the last exchange in the folllow up for the Tahoe. I liked his response. He knows I'll give him a hard time next time I'm in there.....LOL.

AXE, I understand.

Got my latest test results on my 1500 and Tahoe oil samples back. Everything looks pretty good at this point. Not sure if I'll continue to do these or not. It'll be interesting if one of these turds blows!

I see the calcium is considerably higher on this oil and viscosity is lower than Mobil 1 0W40 FS. That's what some guys said on Bob's the Oil Guy website. Also see that magnesium is considerably lower.

I did a little more research and found that some formulations will run higher Boron and Calcium and low Magnesium to control ash build up. Looks like my 40 weight oil for my diesel oil analysis had similar balances, so must be something to do with the heavier oils too.
