Default Oil analysis - Where do I go? Who do i contact?

I would like to have a comprehensive oil analysis done on my '99 996. Who can do this in the Kingston, Ottawa, GTA area. Please help! I am saving up for the LN Solution but in the meantime I wan to make sure my baby don't go BOOM.
Cheers

I just used Blackstone. Shipped to US, but other than slow turnaround, it was reasonably cheap and simple. They will send you free sample bottles and packaging for shipping.

Ive used Blackstone but the turn around times are too long and IMO some of the results have been inconclusive...

Last summer I started using my local Caterpillar service center for testing. Its done in house and costs around 25$ plus tax. Results are back in 24h to 48h. You may want to look into it. Most large fleet or equipment centers will have testing on site.

I don't have the contact info, but from another forum there are two options in the GTA. Wearcheck in Burlington, and Caterpillar in Woodbridge.

I deal with all of the providers in Canada as it is a discounted service we offer our Commercial fleet customers when extending drains with our HD semi and full syn commercial oils.

Hands down Wearcheck, I have toured the lab many times and they are state of the art. I don't trust the in house options when you see the amount of machinery required in a true dedicated lab vs in house providers ie Commercial vehicle dealers.
