About to do my first UOA...Questions?

[wwwKJJEEPcom]

2006 Jeep Liberty CRD (2.8L Intercooled Turbo Diesel)

First engine was replaced at 8127 miles...freak failure

Odometer now at 20647 (12520 on new engine/turbo/egr)

Break in oil changed at 9548 miles with Rotella Syn 5W-40 and Pure One filter

13504...Rotella Syn 5w30 and Fram Tough Guard

17115...Amsoil Series 3000 5w30 HDD and Amsoil EA034 Oil Filter

18603...Amsoil EaA201 Air Filter

Fumoto Drain Valve

Questions:

1) Which "LAB" do you suggest?

2) What specific tests should I ask for?

3) Warm the engine up and take sample after a quart or so comes out (6.4 system)?

"Oil sample will be taken in the next 500 miles or so"

Thanx in Advance

It would be nice if there were a "sticky" with a list of:

LABS
Critical Info that should be asked for
PRICING
ect.

I would recommend Terry Dyson. Which Dyson Analysis? thread

 

[wantin150]

Blackstone Labs is popular here, as is Amsoil's analysis. Tests should run you about $25 (+$10 for TBN if interested in extended OCI's) and cover pretty much everything and the basic level. I "think" the Dyson analysis runs $50 and is more indepth than the others.
