For those of you who have used the testing service with various oils, which
have you found out to have the best results?

: I've heard you mention oil testing by Blackstone several times over the past : months. Now that you have gotten me curious enough I have a few questions.
: 1. How do you get in touch with them?

Yep, they are at http://www.blackstone-labs.com/
: 3. How do you send them your samples? I've become very interested in the : possibility of having my oil checked out on my Dak and another vehicle I : own.
Essentially what you do is fill out a form on their web site, they send you a bottle and a card to fill out, you mail the sample back to them along with a check and they mail you back the report.
: 4. What does it typically cost to do something like this?
$20 per sample, or you can "pre-order" your samples (buy them in advance) which costs $14-17, depending on how many you buy. At one point, they were giving us a DML discount, but their prices have changed since then, I don't know if it is still in effect or not. It wouldn't hurt to ask though, let us know what they say. :-)
Speaking of pre-ordering, how many DMLers use the service on a regular basis? I wonder if it would be worthwhile to get a bunch of people together to pre-order a bunch and save some money?
I've done a few samples with them, but I've been a bit remiss these past few years. I've been meaning to test on a more regular basis. :-)
