Drive Oil Analysis Lab
What oil analysis labs out there might have done more testing on drive gear lube than the rest. I have already contacted Blackstone Labs and they do not have much. I plan on starting drive gear lube analysis to track drive gear wear versus the lube oils I try and I want a lab that has a bigger data base on drive lube oil as a reference.
If anyone has personal drive lube analysis history that they would not mind sharing that would be appreciated as well.
Bravo XR is the drive of primary interest.
Thanks

Try a caterpillar dealer. they have analysis labs on site and they do all different lubes.( gear ,engine, antifreeze) I use them for my ocean yacht on a regular basis to keep track my engines in my big boat.
