Several questions in this one, lets break it down.
#1 Are you doing a UOA with each oil change ? if not how often are you ? what are you paying ?
#2 If your changing oil (say you drive alot) 4-5 times a year and are performing a UOA on
each change what are you spending a year ?
#3 Cost v.s. gain. The point in short for most UOA's is to tell us when our oil is spent,
how long we ca n run a oil, and whats in the oil to determine possable upcoming problems.
say your spending $100 a year on UOA's (( that buys alot of oil and filters))
The point of the thread is when are you overdoing it ? how often do you think its necessary ? Do you think its necessary on newer autos with low miles ? Whats your general breakdown and opinion on the topic ?
I dont think there is a right or wrong awnser myself, but there are two sides to this coin and in the few years ive been on this board i dont think ive ever read anything on it..
