#2498871 - 01/19/12 04:40 AM UOA article - how Blackstone processes UOAs
dnewton3 Registered: 05/14/07 Posts: 4542 Loc: Indianapolis, IN	For those interested in how a UOA is done at Blackstone, please refer to the article on the main home page. http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/used-oil-analysis-2/ Edited by dnewton3 (01/23/13 04:45 AM) _________________________ Conventional oils vs. Synthetic oils isn't about which is "better"; it's about which lasts longer, in relation to cost. Any product can be over or under utilized. Make an informed decision; first consider your operating conditions, next determine your maintenance plan, and then pick your lube and filter. Don't do it the other way around ...

Vikas Registered: 07/22/05 Posts: 5792 Loc: NorthEast	I am curious; when I send the oil to them, what can they find without me telling? Can they identify original viscosity, manufacturer etc?
