Blackstone is overpriced. $40 for the UOA with TBN. NAPA is $16 for the UOA with TBN.
Blackstone gives you comments encouraging everyone to extend their OCI. Ignore their comments
Some give you oxidation and nitration levels.
I will not ignore their comments, as I need their comments to help interpret what my analysis is saying.
I know what I know, and I know what I don't know. When it comes to things I dont know, I value assistance in navigating the subject.
That used to be considered an intelligent approach to life in general, it seems times have changed and left me behind I guess...
Nuke.......... You can post your Blackstone results here and BITOGers generally comment on the results. I just type out the text Blackstone sent - minus their comments, for I cannot send the lab result pic over the internet. I am not computer savy.
I also use my own corrugated small box and place Blackstone's free shipping label on the outside of the box. That way my sample bottle is hidden inside and never seems to get lost by the mail carrier.
I am OK with Blackstone comments and I never need TBN anyways. My OCIs are 4k, 5k and 6k for my three vehicles...... shorter than many members here.
