What is the best type of analysis?, I think someone posted a particular method the other day, but I failed to jot it down.

Default Dyson Analysis is a package you get from Blackstone Labs...

When you fill out the info slip to go along with your oil sample, type in "Dyson Analysis #46". That'll get you the analysis + Terry Dyson's interpretation of the results.

A few years back you could get the whole analysis done by Terry. Now Terry handed it over to Blackstone and does just the interpretation of the results.

Default pete, I am confused as to the cost

There seem to be several things on thier webiste concerning cost. One is $ 20 for the analysis, the other is $35 for the Dyson analysis, and lastly one if for an inspection of chemicals left in the oil for $ 10.

So The grand total is $65, is that correct?

Default OK, let me explain...

(a) Basic oil analysis - $20

(b) TBN testing - $10

(c) Dyson Analysis #46 - $35


Dyson Analysis #46 already includes (a) and (b) plus Terry's interpretation of the results. So $35 covers everything.<ul><li><a href="http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/terry.html">http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/terry.html</a</li></ul>
