That's a good point. I wonder whether that might be a good idea for us
collectors, too? Can anybody comment on the cost and difficulty of
getting a single oil sample tested? I can see how this would make
sense if you have a large fleet of trucks and maintain your own
testing lab, but I wonder if it's still economical if you have one or
two trucks, and need to pay somebody else to analyze your samples.
