I ask because my fleet averages ~2,500miles each per year and after a year the oil still looks like new, but I wonder if it's still getting contaminated/ broken down.
I went through Blackstone labs. They still a sample kit that you put down the dipstick hole. I think it's $25 or so. Then, an oil sample is $25, or $35 with the TBN. It might be worth it for you to have a test instead of changing a fleets' worth of oil.
