I just had my kits ship today and I found out that
the price below is slightly wrong. The kits
are $70/10, but with prepaid postage, they're
now $92.50. The postage is $2.25 each.

A while back I did a write-up with an oil change where I
listed my contact info for where I got my oil analysis
test kits. At the time I got them from Shell Labs, and
it was the best deal I could find...$70 for 10, or,
$85/10 which includes prepaid postage. I did the latter.
Last week a couple things happened. 1) I used up my
first 10 test kits. 2) Some "polaris labs" called to
get my contact info, telling me that they were now
the Shell subcontracted lab. I found out that my old
lab was now not being used by Shellcare. So, I started
shopping again for a new oil analysis provider. Most
prices ran $12 to $24 per sample....many are available
for around $14 per sample.
In the end though, I contacted the original company
that shell used.

They just sold me another 10 test kits for $85 with
prepaid postage, so I'm set for a while again. I have
to sign a form authorizing them my old historical info
from Shell, but from that point on it's the same
test lab so the sampling and reporting will be identical.
The person I talked to was
Katie

I thought I'd pass it on because oil analysis is a great
thing for long term trending, but it's expensive if you
don't find a good deal, and I think this was a pretty good
deal compared to what others cost.
