Overall, the little plastic device impressed us, and it appears to provide consumers the information they need to extend oil change intervals. Of course Lubricheck isn't as accurate as spectroscopy, flash point, viscosity and chemical-based oil testing – we will still mail samples to Blackstone Labs for that.
What else should be noted is the lab result gives you a hint of what is wearing down and you don't need to do it every few miles. You do it once a year at best and they recommend what the OCI is. Also you can do different tests in case you like say a new brand of oil and see if it works.
