I'm real curious how Blackstone will analize the next transmission oil I send in as the ZF "dump & fill" procedure for servicing only replaces ~1/2 to 2/3 of the oil.
The next sample I send in will be the Second "dump & fill" (no pan/filter removal) just to get a majority of the fluid to be "mostly new".
You will get no push back from me! If it's a vehicle you want to keep, getting an analysis how the major components are working is invaluable!
