I am also an Amsoil dealer, and will order some of the oil sample kits this weekend. I have also seen oil analsys in the Navy with aircraft turbines to check the quality of the oil in them. The turbine has different metals in the different bearings, and a high metal content will help pinpoint the bearing that is going bad. We have also found other stuff in the oil when someone used the wrong oil in the engine when servicing it.
LG - The long OCI is because of the Amsoil that I run. They guaratee their oil for the long OCI to protect your engine.
They also have oil filters to last this long. I change mine about half way through the life of my oil though, so the filter gets changed and helps keep the oil clean.
When I first switched over to Amsoil, I picked up an extra 3 to 5 miles per gallon when driving between the highway and city. But I changed everything over. When I pulled my front diff apart a couple of months ago, it showed no wear, and the locker has held up the entire time. This front diff was built about two years ago and we used a lock-rite in it.
