how long does an actual oil analysis take once analysis starts?

[jadmt]

Any actual analyzers care to weigh in? what I am asking is how long is the process from the time the lab tech/analyzer opens the bottle and begins the process? does it really take days? Twice now I have sent samples and it shows testing has started and several days later still shows in testing. last one the lab said testing started on the 14th and today stills shows in testing..is this the norm? I would love to see how the process all works if anyone has a site to show it in actual real time. thanks

While I do not endorse Blackstone labs due to a few issues that is well discussed, their website has decent information and their podcast goes in depth on what you are asking for. The podcast is run by one of their analysts.

One of my labs says 2 days after receiving the sample. They've not always met that deadline unfortunately.
