Sorry to hear that your having a tough time getting your test kit Lisa.

I have always have had great customer service from Blackstone.

They have been very quick E-mailing me back the results, usually in 3 to 4 days. and every mounth they E-mail me there news letter.

I know you have already been offered a test kits. but I also have a couple I can send you.

Well that's one hell of an offer. Only thing better than free is...well...nothing beats free who am I kidding?. Would it matter that I don't run Scaeffers? Also I don't want to use up your free test. You earned it!

Thanks Mark. Could be just a fluke, maybe they never got my orders to begin with.

Nice avatar. Have you recovered yet? Too much eye candy can be hard on a boys tummy.

I haven't had any problems communicating with Blackstone, but they did kind of mess up my first OA. They corrected it immediately, so it wasn't a big deal. When I sent in the sample, it was jinxed from the start though. The post office read MY address from the return part and sent it back to my house. LOL

I've been waiting for my next OA because I keep doing stuff that could affect the oil. My first OA had a rebuilt turbo breaking in, so I had elevated wear metals. My last several oil changes had something that I thought would affect the analysis. This one has new injectors and an HPOP repair. So I hope to get my next one analyzed.

Yeah I cant help but wonder if they sent both and the post office managed to lose both. I've gotten letters back in the mail that were in a ziplock baggie and torn into a billion pieces, with a little sticker on the front that said "Its not our problem. Sincerely, United States Postal Service."

I'll have my DP tuner on this change so I'm curious...even though I've never had an OA done. My oil is always black, but it always looks smooth. I'll be a part of the 200k club very soon so, I figure its time.

Nice, Lisa. I just went over 100k, and missed it. I leave my odo in trip mode, and I was out driving laps around DFW for work when it happened. I guess my truck is "officially" broke-in now.
