Below is a recent quotation of a one-time testing of a used oil analysis:
Engine Oil Teting
Water contest - ASTM D6304 - P4,500
Kinematic viscosity * 100*C - ASTM D445 - P2,300
Flash point (PMCC) - ASTM D93 - P1,600
Total base number - ASTM D2896 - P3,000
Metal content - ASTM D6595 - P2,500
Pentane insolubles - ASTM D4055 - P1,800
Total with VAT P17,584

Jeez... that's expensive!
Blackstone Labs (in the US nga lang) does the following 'Standard Test' for $28 (approx. P 1,350):
Spectral Exam: D5185 - Establishes the levels of wear metals, silicon, and additives present in the oil. Also checks for coolant.
Flash Point: D92 - Determines the grade of oil.
Insolubles: D96 - Quantifies the percentage of solids present in the oil.
Viscosity: D445 - The flashpoint is the temperature at which the vapors from the oil ignite.
