So at what period would you carry out your oil analysis. If you did your test at say recommended oil change interval (6000 km), and given that as you say oil filter technology has made little progress chances are you are going to be changing your oil and filter and paying $45 dollars extra to have a boffin tell you you need to plus the inconvenience of having it tested on a engine you may only be using for a couple of years before selling. How does that save money when you can cut out the oil test and just change your oil and filter ?? Engines now are capable of doing lots of km/s or miles on manufacturers recommended service intervals. I think Greyhound buses do over mil before they are even stripped down. (That was what I was told when I was living in Canada a few years back). Bikes in here have done well over 100,000kms no probs, Dunno what Tex clocks up on his, must be a huge amount.
