Having posted a question concerning my car oil - I now would like to ask another  
  
  
  
 1. Can some one send me a address for a Lab that will analyze my car oil to let me know just how my engine is doing.

The one I hear mentioned most often is Blackstone. I’ve never used them myself, though.

I’ve used them twice now. They seem to do a decent job. You can request oil shipping containers from them and they will send them to you for free. You only pay when you submit a sample.
