Oil sample in Brisbane

[Captain_Rightfoot]

Can anyone recommend a place that does oil sampling in Brisbane. I've found a couple of places but you have to get 10 samples :o

Careful how you open it, or you may get covered in old oil.:D

ALS (Australian Laboratory Services)
If you want a basic check, use their E-monitor test, http://www.e-monitor.com.au/ or if you want things like TBN, use their (more expensive) Wear Check analysis.

"Wear Check" 32 Shand St, Stafford Brisbane (07) 32437200. I could send you one think about $35 plus freight or postage.

Contact Today Tonight maybe - they were the one's who discovered (after analysis) of the dodgy BP fuel being sold here.

Ok. I rang them. They answered the phone. I'm going to pick it up shortly. :)

[Captain_Rightfoot]

Ok I got one. I'll let everybody know the results when I get them. :)

So they weren't to far from you?

you do realise that a one off test is pretty meaningless unless it picks something major like a coolant leak or a bearing currently self destructing ?

Determining wear trends requires multiple test over a time period.

About 2km :)

Yes, I thought I'd look for anything major and do another one in a little while.

yep.
I just get ours done once a year year now on everything, then a follow-up if something looks strange and get an independent bloke to interpret.
