Oil Analysis

I've seen in othe posts people refer to doing an oil analysis to help determine when an oil change is needed. Where can you buy the test "kit" or "strips" or whatever you would call it? Can your average Joe make sense of it? I just switched to synthetic and I would like to get all the mileage per oil change I can but don't want to risk engine damage either.

Blackstone laboratories. They can be found online at http://www.blackstone-labs.com/ .

The website details what you need to do and what they can tell you in a report. Money well spent!
