I just purcahsed 3 at Cummins Normal , Illinois for $ 13.00 bucks a pc. plus tax of course. CIT sells the Caterpillar sample kits for $ 16 i believe. I prefer sample kit from Cummins ( Polaris) the turn around time is faster and they are easier to read.

I pay about $35 for the test kit AND prepaid UPS shipping sold by OPS (Oil Purification Systems) and processed by Horizon Labs. Did some searching and it seems the Oil Analyzers kit is sold by Amsoil and processed by Horizon Labs. They charge $34 for the same UPS prepaid kit. I have no experience with other labs, so I can't say how they compare, but I am satisfied with their service. From the time UPS accepts the package to the time I receive the results, via email and through their website or mobile app, is usually about 1 week. Though I did have UPS loose 2 of my samples for almost a month before finally getting them to the lab.

I have used Blackstone Labs. $28 for sample kit with shipping included. They go thru the postal service. Figure week to week and a half to get results.
