Analysis sounds like a good idea for heavily modified engines, seem to remember reading a thread on the US board regarding this, think they had a company who were giving discount and also keeping a database of all samples from the S2000, would probably be worth trying to get a copy of their findings as a decent baseline.

Depends what results you are getting - some are more detailed than others but I get the following typically. (excuse the formatting)
Swansea Tribology Services / Entek Transfer File

LOCATION=GATHERING STA~UTILITIES~SYSTEM xxxxxx ~PMP
DATE=27/10/02

TBN=-
NV=0.45
REPORT:
Water contamination, with signs of resulting wear.
Drain off excess water and inspect for source
Resample at reduced intervals to verify problem corrected.
Castrol also do it, and I use them also, for turbine oils. Si can fill you in there I expect.

I am also suffering reduction in these alloys that make up the UK one pound coins!

Look pretty much the same as what we get through Shell RLA, could be wrong about the $200, might be getting mixed up with the Lloyds FOBAS service, will check when I go back to work in December!
