That's not how used oil analysis work.
Large particles won't even show up, and you have large particles, we saw them in your oil pan.
UAO's see particles smaller than roughly 10 microns. However, this also assumes that these particles are suspended in the oil. Oils contain dispersants and detergents whose job is picking up contaminants and wear products and keep this stuff, along with whatever else is generated during the engine's operation in suspension. This product had no real additives, which also means it likely had no dispersants or detergents, which means that any particles, including ones from irregular wear that were smaller than 10 microns, wouldn't be suspended in the product and as such, wouldn't have shown up in the analysis.
aww man I thought I was in the clear..

He should also cut open the oil filter for a look inside for large metal particles. Use tin snips or a filter cutter (not a hacksaw or die grinder, etc) to prevent any metal contamination during the cutting process.
pLanning to crack it open..going to make my oil cutter.. using the roller blade of a can opener and some welding work.. prob is that my welder is buried behind my immobilized care in the garage. I tried cutting filters with tin snips before but no luck.

It could easily be vegetable oil or Linseed oil.... or "something" ... not Mobil 1
Whoever tampered with the jug did a great job hiding the evidence.
Thats what I don't understand, it was was varnish or something I would have smelled it. The stuff looked like oil going in. I use a long funnel to do the oil on this car so I would have to hold and slowly pour. Anything thing at that volume would cost more to put back- a gallon of vegetable oil is prob around $15-20. Linseed would cost more.
Blackstone did say it was oil or oil based (that they were able to run their test)
As for testing I also called testoil as they seem more advance. They said they serve industrial customers (anyone have an account with them here?) They refered me to
http://www.dysonanalysis.com/. They sent me the message
" if solidified you are needing materials analysis which would cost $3000 + to analyze. Actual testing price TBD by time and effort to break it out chemically. I would have to E-Invoice for that after we look at material.
If you can get a liquid sample of about 80 -100 ml we can use our Advanced analysis service for $149 + whatever shipping you choose if in US"
Not sure if their advance testing would be any better than blackstone. Anyone want to help fund the $$$?
