Bill,
I've never really subscribed to the "change oil every 3K miles
or 3 months" routine myself, but I do have a question. What is the
cost of the lab analysis? Seems to me that for probably less than the
cost of the analysis and mailing of the sample you can simply change the oil
and filter.
Just a thought in terms of the practical aspect of the economics
and time involved.
Frankly, I belive that most of our collector cars are best served
by changing the oil once a year. After all, few put more than 2000
miles a year on their car and many don't even hit 1000.
Just my .02
Cheers,
Bill
