Yep, most of the guys around here will be long dead before there's any appreciable wear on their Cobra engines anyway -- regardless of the oil they use or the interval in which they change it

That said, a UOA is pretty handy to red flag obvious problems that will eventually lead to a very bad day. They have little vacuum pumps and surgical tubes, that you fit down your dipstick hole, to make it extra easy to get a sample, for those that are interested.
