I used to have these oil reports done, but every report was doom and gloom and recommended more oil changes and more analysis. Even on a brand new car. I've been using Royal Purple filters and was using Mobil 1 but now use Red Line. I stopped doing them, none of my engines have blown up, I have less things to worry about, and more money in my pocket.
I hear you and agreed!

Yes I did the entire thing myself and I think I am going to stop sending in samples until about a good 10k miles from now. Just going to change the oil more often for another year or so. Oil change costs me about 20 minutes and $35.00 at home.
That's a good price, mine cost $53.27 for ACDelco oil and a K&N oil filter. More if I have to bribe a kid to do it! LOL

Yikes, yes you are right. Things have definitely inflated. I now use ACDelco oil filter and penzoil ultra platinum. Total cost is $48.00 including tax plus of course my labor is very expensive. :)
