Actually the junk drops to the bottom of the pan when you let the car sit over night.

I am trying to figure out if you actually have degraded the oil with out 1500 miles.

Are these hard driving 8000 rpm track miles or 2200 rpm putze around the street miles with a "show off" every-once-in-a-while and you just enjoyed driving around.

If you have been hammering on the throttle and the engine has seen some nice high rpm, high temperature beatings, you may want to have the oil test just to know what you are doing to the engine.

I think you may want to wait until the engine oil has been "used" whenever that is.

Just my $0.02 worth
