$40 for a standard UOA ?

[Mackelroy]

I'll likely spend that this once on pro plus UOa, just to see where I am at, But that is very High.

As to the Pro plus 10w50, I went 20 hours or 1000 miles on my ktm 500, oil performed well, and the shifting quality, didnt really want to change it.

But 25 hours for my hooligan riding seems doable.

Yeah, $40... I'd never pay that for a UOA. Personal choice though. Let us know the results when you get them.

What oil service are you using that charges enough less to not want to pay $40? I'm curious if there's something out there the rest of us could take advantage of. Or is that a general statement, you would never do an oil analysis and pay the money for it. I question my OCD with respect to my motorcycle when I Pony up once a year for the annual analysis. Lol.

i joined bitog half a year after you did (but i had already been doing uoa's for 4 years) ... back when the stoners charged 20 and if you got several you could get a discount.
they shipped me a box of 20 little black bottles...i used the window stickers for my truck ... no idea where you put one on a dirt bike lol

but 40? for their very unimpressive tests (silver and other exotic elements showing up in results) are very much not worth it

what about using lakespeedjr's diagnostix?

Amsoils prepaid shipping kits went up in price too. Now it’s $32.75 with preferred pricing. Non postage kits are $22.15.
