Very nice! So the numbers in the graph on the right are what were found in your oil, and the left is where you should be, or is that how the oil would be brand new? How much did the oil analysis cost?

I get nervous and guilty passing 3,000... guess I can relax!
It sounds like you drive like me too, I hit 3000rpm maybe once a week unless I'm on the interstate.

Correct, the right-most numbers are the averages based on a 5,300 mile interval with the oil.

I think the analysis was a little under $30, but there are a number of other places, prices range from around $19 to more than $100, depending on how comprehensive you want the results to be.

at 5-8 bucks a quart and 4 quarts a change it doesnt take long to save the funds you spent on mileage.
