    TW> about your Oil Sample?   
      
   i (still) haven't said anything about the oil labs would rip me off.. however,   
   if they were being paid by the vehicle manufacturers and this testing was   
   "free" for their vehicles, then yes, they could very easily being attempting   
   to "rip me off"... in this particular instance, they would be in the position   
   to do such... even moreso if the manufacturer gets a (hidden) kickback from   
   them...   
      
   but you still did not ack understanding my original (and still quoted above)   
   premise ;)
