Looks like your motor is in good shape.

It's tempting to send a sample in to have them check for wear and problems. I doubt if I have any but it would be nice to see it on paper.

How much does something like that cost.. just out of curiosity.

 

[ShelbyGuy]

$25 if you dont want a measurement of what additives are left. $35 if you want a TBN which is a measurement of the life left in the oil in case you are going with extended oil change intervals. mobil1 is good for an easy 6000 miles between changes even with road course abuse.

good thing i just bought 6 courts of that cause i normal forget to change the oil at 3k, normally happens around 4500 :-o

Wow that is interesting, never knew that! All that wasted additive I threw out! :-o

i could never understand the guys that change their oil every time they park next to a dirty car, but run royal purple.

Wow that is interesting, never knew that! All that wasted additive I threw out! :-o
