    Where did you send your sample that gives a report like this?

    Go to Google and search black Stone laboratory oil analysis. They are located in Indiana. They will send you empty sample container.

    Excellent! So, you send them a sealed sample, how much, about a quart? How much does it cost?

    It's not a quart. It is much less. the sample container is probably half a pint. About 40 dollars per analysis.
    https://www.blackstone-labs.com go to their website and request free test kit.

    Doesn't Detroit recommend 10W30 on the DD13 and 15's?

    Yes. They don't carry 10w30 at Speedco. Most of the oils out there are 15w40. I have searched for it and have not seen it offered at bulk location for periodic maintenance. Unless, someone buys 11 gallons somewhere else and brings them in to the shop. I don't really know.

    Interesting.
    What weights do they carry for synthetic blend, ie T5?

    Speedco has Mobil delvac products, they do have the full synthetic and blends. Not in bulk, gallons.
    Will run a bit more for that. You have to tell them, otherwise they just go with the bulk oil.
