Have a car that'd been minimally used for the past three years, so only was putting about 300-500 miles a year on it, but was changing the oil annually. I have three separate oil samples from each change that I never sent in. What's the thinking on mixing them well and combining them into one sample for a UOA? All three changes were the same exact brand, type and viscosity of oil. Would the combined "sample" be reflective of the cumulative miles on all the samples from a wear (metals) standpoint? Three ~500 miles samples = ~1500 miles of use? Or, am I completely defeating the purpose of a UOA by doing this? My thinking is that 300-500 mile oil samples just isn't enough miles to really show much individually.
