Anyone care to recommend a lab for oil analysis?

TIA for any advice

Blackstone I also use, initially because the Neptune Spacebears study did so. No doubt there are several others that do just as good a job for the same $20 ($30 if you want TBN)..Blackstone also offers a discount on mutiple anaylses and have already told me that they don't care if the oils came in from multiple parties. It woud be great if somebody wanted to organize all that, because I have settled on a 10-12k mile oil change interval (with Mobil 1 synthetic) and therefore I only rarely have a sample to send.

Anybody want to become the Prius oil analysis boss?
