I want to thank Blackstone for probably saving my engine in my beloved Xterra. I had my timing chains done and had the oil analyzed at the first oil change. As a result of your analysis an issue with the parts was uncovered and turned out to be a defective or improperly installed timing chain kit. As soon as I showed the report to the shop they were able to quickly diagnose and correct the issue. Thank you all so much!!

I sold my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel for $5,000 more than Kelly Blue Book. The guy who bought it said he was impressed by all the oil analyses and transmission fluid reports I had from Blackstone, and that that’s why he paid me my asking price because he doubted he would find a well cared-for vehicle. Your oil reports are worth their weight in gold when selling a used vehicle!

Best news I’ve heard after a horrible week! I was worried due to the little froth of metals on my magnetic drain plug at my last few oil changes.

My plane’s most recent oil sample was sent a couple weeks ago. Before that analysis was processed, we tore down the top of the motor to replace what we suspected were high-time, worn cylinders. My oil analysis on that last oil change arrived in my email today, and while you had no idea we were going to remove the cylinders, your analysis indicated abnormally high metals and you suspected cylinder scuffing in your summary. You were SPOT ON!  now have faith that this oil analysis is money well spent.

Wow, best news I’ve heard all year! Thanks!

You guys were totally right. I accidentally put down 0W40 when in reality this is a 0W/20.

I am amazed! You all are the best. Yup, you caught the fact that the pushrod tube gaskets were changed on both due to some leakage. Also, the front engine I had just replaced #3 and #5 cylinders after overhaul due to cracked valves. Thank you again and keep up the stellar work.

Wanted to thank you. I sent in for an oil analysis because I’d been having some overheating problems, yet did not see any obvious oil in the radiator or coolant on the dipstick. I was in year four of a five-year warranty and the report showed coolant in the engine oil. Also in the report was lead from babbit bearing degradation secondary to the coolant. Your oil report contributed to my receiving a new reman engine for my Jeep. You guys are bacon savers!

I really appreciate your personable replies attached to my reports. Puts results in perfectly understandable form. This transmission is the most difficult to drive without using the clutch that I’ve ever had. Truck is quiet so one doesn’t hear the engine. Thanks.

Just want to thank you. After I received my last terrible report I tore down the top end of the engine and found both pistons had seized in the cylinders at some point between oil changes. I believe this report saved me a ton of money. The bottom end of the engine was fine but without knowing this was happening, I would have destroyed the crankshaft and related components. Again, thank you.
