Blackstone Lab Report! WOO HOO!

Pretty Stoked, Sounds Good!

Can you paste the numbers?

What was your fuel percentage? Mine was 2 which they said was their cutoff for good/bad but since everything else looked so good it was not cause for concern. I'll see what the next sample says. What causes excess fuel in oil? Rings? How could rings be bad at 95k? Just curious what other fuel percentages are. Glad to hear your wearing so well. I love toyotas!

edit, we posted at the same time. Yours is pretty low. Huh.

Yeah, is that good?

Not that i am taking this as gospel, but i was very glad to see no antifreeze in it!

Also, made me happy to see their "Nice Engine" comment!

Now that is a great post! Thanks...I've been thinking about oil analysis for quite a while. This almost has me convinced it's something I must do.

Nice report!

High fuel number can be from lots of short trips without letting the motor warm up just before the test sample or dripping injectors that need to be cleaned.

Congrats on the good news. I need to get off my lazy ass and get in touch with Blackstone too. Thanks for the prod.

It took almost a month to get my results!

Worth the wait though!

I drive about a mile and a half to work everyday, so that's probably the fuel thing. But why did it take you so long to get results? I got mine in email the day after they recieved it. Did you use regular mail? I did ups, so maybe that's it.

Short trips on mine as well with a bit of fuel in the oil.
(which is the reason they suggested)
Nice report!!..these engines are pretty amazing
even with the chance of an HG job.

Not to burst the bubble, the report does look great however the absence of coolant in the oil is not indicating that the HG is fine; each and every OA i did with BlackStone showed no coolant in the oil at all and yet I now know that there was some slight leakage from the HG. Again, not to burst the bubble, as they stated, "nice engine" so good job with that!!!

Also, I'm also wondering why the results took so long, I think the longest I've waited was five days and that was over one weekend as well.

I sent mine in today. I hope it isn't returned in the mail for suspicious fluids after the latest sercurity scare.

I did not get the TBN (total base number) on this one, has anyone else done this?

 

[SOCALFJ]

Pretty cool... about how much does it cost to run a report?

Take it up to a 40 weight and you should see the iron numbers drop a little. BTW, I keep telling everyone to quit wasting their time with 3-5k intervals on synth, take it out to 7.5-10k.
