Hahaha, good analogy. And clearly the results will be different if you collect oil as it drains out of the pan versus pouring some into the Blackstone canister after its been sitting in an open drain pan on your garage floor for a week.

I've got about 3 hours total runtime on this engine, I think I am going to unscrew the filter and pour off a sample so I can compare it when I do my first oil change. Probably a waste of $$, but what the hell....
