Blackstone Lab recommends Dino oil
Just thought I'd post this and see what you guys think.
I have had two oil analysis's on my maxima which has been running Mobil 1 since about 67k. I got my first analysis done at 87k and the result showed excess lead. At 105800 miles, I sent in my second oil sample same oil, Mobil 1 5w-30, and the results showed even more lead and recommended switching back to regular dino oil.
Crazy thing is, the technical at Blackstone Labs personally called me to discuss my oil sample and he highly recommended switching back.
Have any of you, experienced this? Also, anything I should do when switching back to dino?

This is interesting, never heard of people getting their oil analyzed. On that website, did you just order the Free Test Kit + pay $20?

I wouldn't jump to any conclusions.. we don't know what the engine was running like on dino, it may have been the same then in which case its probably not the oil. Some people get their oil tested on a regular basis, we probably would have heard from them if something was off.
