Hey guys so here's the deal. I have access to a fluid analysis lab where I can test oils and their properties for things such as true viscosity, flash point, cold and hot differences (from -35F to 300+F), etc.
I can test pretty much any fluid: engine oils, gear oils, brake fluids, coolants, fuels. I'm going to keep this to just oil for now as I don't want to overextend myself until I know I have some free time for other stuff.
So, if there's a certain oil you would like tested here's what you need to do:
1. Buy 1 quart of desired oil (I can't test used oil)
2. Insert said quart into shipping container
3. Ship to my address
4. Wait until I can get it tested and post the results
I'm hoping to make a table/chart of oils for things such as flash point and viscosity vs temp and anything else that may be of interest. I'm mostly interested in gear oils as I feel there's a bit less information out there about them but it would be cool to get some solid data on commonly used engine oils too. Anyway, if this is of interest to you let me know.
