Interesting how some people spend $30 for an oil analysis in order to avoid
a $20 oil change. hmmmm.

What a load of mumbo-jumbo for obsessed people. Hell - just change the oil
at the recommended intervals and be done with it...

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.

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.

The oil analysis is to get information on engine wear, not to avoid an
oil change.
An airplane engine is more expensive than your car and if wear is
happening, it needs to be addressed promptly.
