    Not me. I've seen enough results to feel pretty comfortable with an annual/bi-annual oil change. Sad to say, we don't have an automated system for collecting the oil sample results but I have no further questions.

    Huh? You are going to change the transaxle oil every year??

    I'm going to get another sample done at 20k in another month or so. I will have 10k on fluid, 20k on car. I want to compare the result to the sample taken after the first 10k to see if Si is still elevated.

    WS compatible, but @ $11 per quart, I think I'd stay with WS since it is synthetic. Only thing that would make me use something different is if Amsoil comes up with an alternative (specified) that will last twice as long.

    I changed mine at about 75,000km and it was fairly black. Paid $45AU for the oil which came in a 4 litre steel can. No sample taken as no test facilities available here.
