I've had my MR2's oil analyzed twice so far, and I've been impressed with the information you can pull from it. Not really a necessity, but I drive my car hard, and track it occasionally, so I feel a little safer knowing how my bearings are doing from an internal standpoint. This also shows the differences between my older 2nd gen 3S-GTE and my newer 4th gen 3S-GTE.

EDIT: Car is at 109k, engine is the one at 42k, JDM motor imported at just under 40k.

2nd EDIT: Cost is $25 for analysis, test kits are free.

Part of me wants to do this... but part of me is very much worried about the potential results. "Yes nFamousCJ... you should probably stop driving the nFamous Stringbean." "Wh....why?" "Based on the oil sample provided every time you drive it you're that much closer to grenading the engine, giving yourself aids cancer, yes thats aids with cancer on the aids, the possibility of ruining the new Star Wars movie and potentially destroying the global economy." "....crap"

Analysis has anal in it... Seriously does it cost much to have it analysed?

This is true, might be better to not know

Test kit is free, it's $25 once you send it in.

I've been asked to check someone's oil before, so yes.
