Blackstone analysis
#17
the oil you collect for analysis should be collected after the car is hot and you stick the collection bottle in the stream of oil as it is draining and you should collect the oil after it has been draining for a few
seconds as to get a "middle" sampling of the oil.

Thanks Litesonic it seems I have quite a bit more copper and lead than you did...
The car was defiantly hot and when I took the sample from the drain plug and when I loosened it I did lose a small stream for 2-3 seconds then closed it and loosened it again once I had the bottle underneath.
I'm going to try getting another sample and sending it to a different place. Does anyone have any recommendations for these cars oil analysis'?

When I changed the oil last I didn't notice any metal in the oil filter although I did not open up the filter completely.
I only use premium gas and I have Mobil 1 0w 40 in it right now, but I have used some lucus fuel injector cleaner within the last 1000 miles which i'm not sure if that will matter.
The oil sample did come from the drain plug so I'm not sure if the sample could be contaminated with some old oil.

That is why you should drain your oil after using Sea foam and many other cleaners. The oil can/usually does get contaminated.
