(Some are just the report, some come with this audio analysis.) Also being a customer gets you access to his private facebook group with a plethora of articles and industry news etc. Some really good discussions take place there at times. And you can ask questions at will.
I have been happy with his service over the past decade and used it multiple times and would highly recommend any of the test packages he offers.

He has a lot of experience, has fought OE's denying warranty claims and has worked with Cummins and been in this business for eons.
He used to be a part of this board but is no longer unfortunately.
Just my $0.02.
I have never heard of Dyson before, but based on what you said and he says in his introduction video, it sounds like a great place to get a thorough analysis done on your oil.
It's unfortunate, however, being up here in Canada as I am sure, with the exchange rate, shipping, etc, a basic analysis would likely run north of a $150 dollars? Does that sound about right, Stevie?
I would like to get one done on my wife's 3.6 Impala when I do an oil change this spring, and I was just going to use Blackstone, but now, after seeing Dyson does a much more thorough job, imo, like Gas dilution, Tan, etc, or the things I am the most interested in, I am going to have to rethink this?
Thanks for the info.
Another option in Canada is Toromont CAT. You can pick them up at any heavy truck dealer, they are less expensive than Blackstone and will give you TBN/TAN for free (you just have to request it).
Thanks Overkill. I see the one in Bowmanville is now gone, or at least I thought one was there? Peterborough now looks to be the closest so I will be sure to contact them when the time comes in the spring.

If you are coming to Peterborough, you can grab the sample kits at Winslow Gerolamy on the corner of the Parkway and Lansdowne. I'm amazed you don't have a heavy truck dealer in the 'shwa though?
