Oil Analysis

I'd like to send a sample of my engine oil away on the next change. Can anybody recommend a company that does not charge a fortune?

Thanks

Millers do oil analysis but I found it poor compared to Blackstone labs in the US. Millers came back with a very basic report saying everything was fine. I asked them about fuel content and they said oh ok we only do that if someone asks for it, 1.2% then. Uh ok.

Blackstone IIRC gives the full spectrum in their report.

Whether there is any material difference between how they actualy conduct their tests I don't know, but personally prefer Blackstone.

Think I'll start doing this also and changing my oil together with the MOT at the same time whatever the mileage.
