Hi Mitch, You asked:<<I assume your kits test viscosity? > I bet she's looking for somebody to pin the blame on for the > rod jumping through the block. What's a four ball wear test cost? > $100? $200? Some oil mfgs have warranties against lube failure.>>
Yep, all tests including viscosty tests - Have never been asked for a 4 ball wear test - will investigate. The things we normally test for are shown in the Test Results at http://members.rennlist.com/oil where you'll find links to the results as well as a table showing potential sources of contamiation. The cost of TBN has gone way up for some reason - my cost is $20 and I can't in good conscience mark that up for my customers so I won't suggest they get TBNs unless they really want it - then it'll be at my cost..
