Considering sending out a blood test to see what’s going on (or not going on hopefully). Anyone have any experience or recommend a particular company?

Just the general test or add certain options? Thanks for the recommendation.

I do the general test and the amount of detail is impressive. They compare other similar mileage vipers tested to your sample for various metals found. After my second test they gave me personal feedback about how my latest numbers looked compared to the previous test. Maybe some of the other guys here know more about the other tests, but I’ve been happy with the feedback.

Blackstone is great. I also send my oil to Blackstone to document that I change my oil every six months, for warranty purposes.

I've used Blackstone for a decade both for work and my vehicles. They provide great decision data.
