The previous TGMO was loaded in ester, twice as much as in Mobil 1 Euro oils, like the Genuine Nissan Motor Oil. Blackstone VOAs are nearly useless.
I am a complete beginner at where to send oil for a VOA. If you all think that WearCheck is the best to provide us with the answers that we all like to see, I'll look into it.
Is this where you all think I should send a sample?

Most people here send to Blackstone, as they do UOA/VOA for general public, which is fine. WearCheck is the professional version of Blackstone, serving various industries, where they do more tests and likely with better equipment. However, they will probably agree to add you as a customer if you give them a call.
That sounds interesting but what do they charge?
