1st DIY oil change on clubman s

Just finished my 1st oil change pretty easy not to messy.
Oil was very dark almost black @ 8000 mi so I'm glad I did it.
Going on cycling trip to NC (CNC) and will drive around 2k another good reason to change.
May get oil analysis.
Any suggestions on where to get analysis? Thanks Mark

One option for oil analysis is Blackstone Labs in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

The color of the oil means absolutely nothing in regards to it's health. Blackstone will let you know how much life you have left.
