Royal purple lol Believe me I'm not OCD just figured it would hurt to see what they find. But there is some hardcore people out there.

Well here are my results for my engine oil. The engine has 92,000 original miles with no mods. Seems the internals are doing good!

Now thats post-worthy.

Does it come with an explanation of what above average levels of each element point to? Like you have above normal calcium. So to me that would point to the oil not getting hot enough to burn off condensation. Donno, but the overall results look really good.

Thanks!

It does heres a link to the element explanations and where they come from. http://www.blackstone-labs.com/report-explanation.php

Also if you have any questions about the results you get they can always help you answer them. Its not bad for $25 now I can work on getting new struts and tires since I know the internals are looking good!
