I remember reading that the military has gone to oil analysis instead of
time/mileage for all(?) vehicles for cost saving. And while I have never
used one there is a portable tester at this site
http://www.reliabilitydirect.com/oilanalysisproducts/SKF-TMEH1.htm and while
the price is high for a individual it sounds like a good investment for a
club or maybe even making some extra money at the vehicles events.(If it
works). Wayne
