- Educational and Entertaining
I’ve been using Blackstone for oil analyses for over 10 years, but only started listening to the podcast last year. I learn something new every episode! Often times, questions I didn’t even know I had are answered in the various discussions. Good stuff!

I’m an automotive nerd who always likes learning about new aspects of the hobby. Joe explains things in an easy to understand way and somehow, things don’t really become repetitive episode after episode. If you’re curious about used oil analysis or just looking to explore a new alley of the automotive hobby, it’s worth checking out.
Apple Podcasts5One Adam TwelveUnited States3 years ago - Blackstone Joe makes learning awesome!
I’ve binged through the first 50 episodes while driving 125-350 miles a day for work and I am hooked. I actually had known about Blackstone Labs for years thanks to forums and YouTube but I had never really thought about sending my own oil to be analyzed. I always thought “ah, that’s for souped up stuff that gets ran hard and I don’t need that for my daily driver” until I bought my own 263,xxx mile diesel truck a few months back, and it had the oil I bought the truck with. I was wondering how th... more

Oh so smooth! Very informative and fun to listen to.
Apple Podcasts5CodeballzUnited States3 years ago - Engaging and informative
This show has just the balance of fun to information just right. I have learned a lot about just how useful oil analysis can be, how to best sample my oil, but also had some good laughs as Blackstone Joe cracks a few wise ones.
My only comment is that in the most recent episode “no oil no problem” I think they had the volume and length of the fun sound effects just a tad too high.
This show is a big part of the reason I will be sampling with Blackstone Labs from now on!
