Hi,
For years I've done regular oil analysis for my engines, trans and gen.
For many years I used a firm local to me in the SF bay area - until they were bought out and customer service became an unknown concept.
For about 2 years I've been using Blackstone Labs. I mostly like their services, the analysis reports and the pricing is reasonable. However, for about 6 months they've been taking longer and longer to turn results around... I fear that they are a victim of their own success.
For my last samples with them, it has taken 1 month+ (after they get the sample) for them to provide lab results. That's too long for my needs.
Does anyone have a recommendation for an oil analysis lab that reliably returns results (preferably in about a week) after they receive the sample?
