I have a sample and was thinking of requesting a kit from SPEEDiagnostix because they provide oxidation but it's $70 and I'm not sure I'm going to get much info off a sample which has around 6k miles on it. However, I wanted to throw this out to the community just to gauge interest. If there's enough interest I may go ahead and get it.
Any interest in a UOA for HPL C3 5w30?

WearCheck provides oxidation numbers as well, and IIRC isn’t anywhere near $70. The one in NC is the third-party that HPL uses for testing.
Will they do a single pass? I don't want to have to pay for bunch of test kits which I will never use.
You’d have to give them a call to ask. I talked to Greg(?) at Dave’s recommendation, and will be sending my samples there in the future, for oxidation & fuel % mainly.
Single Pass? Polaris/OAI can test for $30 and their report includes oxidation.
But without a reference VOA, that oxidation number is borderline worthless.
HPL should be able to provide reference oxidation numbers based on batch numbers.
