I currently just switch to GC, and next oil change i will run Motul or Amasoil and will get a oil analysis after each change so we get a better understanding of the FA20 engine with some hard numbers.

Keep in mind that sometimes oils with different chemistries will make uoa's look wonky.

If you do a uoa on GC and then run an oil with ester base stocks (Motul 300V and I believe Amsoil 0W-20 contains some) the ester based oils will shower higher wear numbers because the oil is actually cleaning the engine internals. A process called "scavenging" by this guy.

It's also best to make sure your engine is fully broken in and the wear metals are normal before trying to compare different brands. This is a very good read for anyone getting into uoa's:

Note the comment that you get what you pay for and check out Dyson's prices above. I use Amsoil's Oil Analyzer's Inc (Polaris Labs) because you get much more bang for the buck. Although, IMO, OAI and Blackstone are good at helping to find mechanical problems, but are for entertainment purposes only.
