Originally Posted By: A_Harman Is there more of a backstory to this that made the BND guy go off on a rant? It's all very defensive. Did you send him the comparative oil analyses, and ask him to explain why his boutique oil performed no better than off-the-shelf M1? I find myself wondering if...

The two samples are remarkably similar, which is my point. I haven't looked to see if I had to order TAN/TBN, much less what they are 600% reduced wear... 600% compared to what? LOL One of BND claims is, not one single engine failure running his products. Causation is not correlation. He also...

And I can't be fair without posting the reply from the owner of BND Oil. Ok, So what is your point? First it is a 7.5w23 not 22.5 and 849 more miles on QB. Second, no chromium on QB and 1 on M1 so more ring wear on M1 Third, no lead on QB and 1 on M1 so more bearing wear on M1 Fourth more...

Two year long experiment... on 2007 Charger Daytona 5.7L with nearly identical usage. Oil changed in the late fall, driven intermittently for a month and then sat for three months then driven on and off through spring, summer, and fall. Code: Year 2013 2014 Analysis ALS Blackstone...

{sigh} Brian has a silk lined smooth tongue. It was suggested above that he supplies oil to the military. Is there any proof that he's actually done that, or just take him at his word? Ever look at his "business" address, it's a residence. If you're getting too much LTK, then you need to...

ok then! I'll get the sample of BND oil off in the next few days and post the results when I get them. In approximately 12 months we'll be able to compare those results to M1 extended

Should I even bother with Blackstone then? I was concerned that ALS had some relationship with BND other than selling the kits.

As part of my BND oil purchase, I paid for a prepaid sample kit. After I pulled the sample, looked at the lab, and thought to myself, I've never heard of this company. I was going to forget about the money already spent and send the sample to blackstone. Wish i had thought about it and pulled...
