Yes, that is the main reason I don't use it for my cars. Now for airplanes that use 12 quarts of expensive oil and have serious consequences of engine failure or large trucks that may use 6 gallons of oil, it makes a lot of sense. Matt |

Probably the biggest benefit of UOA is that it proves to people that oils last much longer than many of them think. With any kind of luck, it will convince people once and for all that changing your oil any more frequently than the car manufacturer recommends is an unnecessary waste of a diminishing resource. Any money saved is a secondary benefit. |

An airplane engine is more expensive than your car and if wear is happening, it needs to be addressed promptly. |
