roughly $20 to $40 (and up) depending on which lab and what tests and stuff.
If you go to the main page you can follow the links to oil analysis. Also, keep in mind your friendly neighborhood AMSOIL dealer site sponsors can provide you with kits.
Alleleujah! A like minded thinker. Id rather pay some guy $20 to keep me from eating junk food than to worry too much about some car. $20 is like 3 oil changes for me. I gotta worry more about what goes in and out of ME let alone the cars. Haha!
True, if all you want to do is change you oil every 3K. However, I know of at least one case of a friend who found a head gasket problem via a UOA. And I like to know what is going on inside my engine, and if the oil that I'm using really is protecting it and keeping wear numbers low. Since I run extended OCI's, it makes sense to get a handle on what the engine/oil combination is doing so I don't change it too soon or...too late.
