09 2grfe 114k miles and change. 5k interval. Castrol euro 5w40. Toyota filter. Nothing remarkable…

I grabbed some oil while dropping it the other day because wanted a sample just because it has a bit of piston slap which isn’t unheard of in these, just not overly common, but having had a 6.0 LS I knew the sound.

So who should I get a sample kit from? I’m not worried about going past 5k but am curious as to how the oil will look on an analysis. Daughter is taking the car to college so one less thing for her to worry about would be nice.

Just ordered some kits from @Pablo myself. Oil analyzers has a good rep here and the non-postage paid kits seem like the best deal around. Will be my first UOAs and quite interested in the results as I look to possibly extend OCIs
