Used Oil Analysis: The Sum of All Fears?
Got my Oil Analysis results back from Blackstone in a little under a week. I'm very impressed with the turnaround! Looks like I'm gonna have to seriously consider testing for a HG leak now... I knew it was coming, I just didn't want it to be now!

You are way overthinking this..no PSA or D count? Just how much antifreeze are you loosing? My CRV seems to lose a few inches in the bottle in 6 months since new. My Toyota truck never does. My Z got to be on a steady diet for over 10K and never saw it in the oil till one evening it sucked a mouth full and broke the starter. Funny thing is it was the best looking cylinder.

Huh? Coolant in the oil? What do you figure? Slipping down through the rings?
That's too bad if it ends up being HG... 9000 miles on the oil... I couldn't do that.

Yeah, I was going for 7500 but work, life and a road trip got in the way. Excuses, excuses. My baby isn't guzzling coolant, and the temp gauge is always where it needs to be, but recently coolant has started to barf out when I take the radiator cap off, even after it's been sitting overnight. That's new.

Replace the cap. The little vent rubber on the bottom that vents and draws coolant back in when cold is stuck maybe.? You sure look old enough to know what PSA and D count is...HA

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Man, you guys are young. PSA is a member of the kallikrein-related peptidase family and is secreted by the epithelial cells of the prostate gland. PSA is produced for the ejaculate, where it liquefies semen in the seminal coagulum and allows sperm to swim freely.
Vitamin D count is necessary for calcium absorption.
The PSA is just a blood test. You also have the luxury of having you prostrate flatten over your tailbone to make sure there is no swellings or lumps. if by chance the PSA is at 6.0 or so and you have lumps, then they take a ultrasound guided 16 gage hollow needle on a mini harpoon and core out 12 samples. Doesn't really hurt. You have purple semen for about 3-4 weeks.
