Out of curiosity, why are you going with a mix? It is not as if you are in a cold climate.

Did you send the sample, or did your oil service shop (which one?) send it?

You order free test kits from Blackstone. Then, you mail them to the lab in Fort Wayne Indiana. I ship them UPS, since they move faster than USPS.

I caught some during the oil change. Did it myself. Let it run for a little and then put the collection vial into the stream.
blackstone kits are easy you just pay for them to run it and they sen u more kits.
