Re: [DMCForum] Re: Oil Analysis

["Andrei Cular" <acular@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you are paying that little for oil and a filter you are probably doing
more damage changing it frequently than if you were to run high quality
for
a longer time. I saw research being conducted that showed how much junk is
in that cheep oil and the damage it can do.  Even when I rebuild an engine
I
run a mid quality oil for the first 20min, and then for the first
100miles.

If you have an engine that holds 4gal of oil, with a high quality bypass
filter you can extend the change interval out to 25k-30k miles.  Then that
$20 analysis becomes the equivalent of an oil change.

For less than $7 I can have crankcase full of new oil and a new filter...
