Has anyone tested the oil they don't like?

I test my oil during each oil change. Yep, I kinda rub my fingers together while coated by the old oil. So far, I have always concluded that the stuff is still slippery, and smells like used oil. I'll be sure to let you know when I discover any new findings.

Yeah, I'm a dumbass. A 180 Skywagon now fills the hangar. Speaking of oil, I have some extra Aeroshell 50wt laying around. I wonder how AD oils would work in a harley motor...

There was a poster a week ago that posted oil lab test results.
One poster posted that Amsoil damaged his engine. This one I really don't know about. I think if I had evidence that a brand of oil cause damage, I would be talking to the oil company with some proof.
I had some oil lab tested by Blackstone several years ago. I think I may be doing it again soon.
