DISCLAIMER - Bill's Ranking
Bill's ranking is determined by reviewing the test results from Blackstone labs that contain specifics around additives, flashpoint and viscosity, etc. This data was coupled with the price paid for the test unit to determine the final ranking based on a school grading system. All testing and products were paid for out of pocket with nothing being contributed by a vendor or Blackstone Labs. Approximate cost for all motor oil testing $600 including product. Bill has no affiliation with any of these vendor or Blackstone Labs.
