Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

just got my second report from blackstone. i had my engine replaced about 6K miles ago. i did oil change at 1500 miles and at 4500 miles since that. i sent both oil samples to blackstone lab for analysis. got my first report a while back and got my 2nd report just now. both are attached. if you never done a report with them, you should. not affiliated, just a happy customer (with knowledge that his engine is doing well). i am a little worried about "viscosity was a little low" in the 2nd report. something i should address? and if so -- how? 1st report after 1500 on new engine: 2nd report after 4500 on new engine: i think i should do the same for my BMW also

POST 2Original post

I didn't think folks from this board knew anything about blackstone labs. They are very helpful. I wonder if they could detect minute traces of coolant contamination to forewarn us of an engine failure?

POST 3Original post

I used Blackstone Labs for my oil analysis. Inexpensive at only $17/test. Haven't done it for the 996 yet.

POST 4Original post

I've used them in the past as well. Washington, they can detect coolant and forewarn of exactly the problem you mentioned.
