Free kits, quick turn-around, they'll happily send you an "adjusted" report (like on my last one, I forgot to state which oil I had used, doh!), and they're reasonably priced, especially if you forgo the TBN test.

If you're running "easy" miles (mostly highway) on OEM intervals to stay within warranty, ANY OE-spec'd oil will do the job just fine, and based on my somewhat abusive short-hop city driving, there would be plenty of life to go further, if the OEM were ever to allow it.
The only thing I do not like about Blackstone's reports is that they do not show Oxidation or Nitration levels. Since these are a direct measurement of an oil serviceability I would rather see those in my reports.

When you say Schaeffer, do you mean Staveley? when we took samples for our Schaeffers oil we sent the results to Staveley.
