I'd be very interested to see a UOA from one of your or Panda's oil changes, especially if you're running synthetic.

The price of an oil analysis will equal or exceed the cost of an oil change; I'd just do the early oil change and be done with it.

Make it last forever!

With fossil I change at 3K , synthetic goes to 6K. The synthetic is barely off color at oil change time (I have yet to get anything off of th oil filter magnet). Transmission oil gets changed this time also (18K)!

But money is no object according to Big Panda If you want to spend on excess oil changes, might as well splurge for a UOA while you're at it.
