Staveley Services which is Amsoil. They provide charted graphs that show the previous two analysis comparisions.

I think Amsoil promotes Oil Analyzers.

I don't have experience with the companies. I'm on my first oil change with synthetics. I have kits from Blackstone and Oil Analyzers. Figure I would spend and extra $20 so I can compare the services.

If people could post some sample reports, or maybe the companies will send you samples, then I would choose the one that is easiest to read, and the most complete detail. I'd also choose a company that offers assistance in interpreting the data. I want more than just detail, I also want to know when and why to change the oil, and some explanation and indication if something is going on with the engine.

Not sure about Staveley. But on the Amsoil site you can order a kit, prepaid. Blackstone will send you a kit for free, and then charge you when returned.

I think Schaeffer's Oil may also have a kit too.

They aren't amsoil, that's oil analyzers

Oil Analyzers did recently beef up there reporting. I've attached my last report in the new format.
They also test diesel fuel. Here is their website:
Oil Analyzers, Inc. - Oil Analysis Services

Blackstone is another popular lab.

I use blackstone and highly recomend them. If you have any questions about your report you just give them a call and they will explain it to you in detail. Here is a copy of one of my reports.

I sure liked the information from Blackstone. Gives you comments, and provides location and universal averages. This gives you good information to compare your results with.

I just requested a sample kit from Blackstone.

and listed Dieselbombers as the the place I learned of them from.

I wonder how we could get listed in their drop down menu. I see a few other forums there.
