In saying that it's probably the best method of testing, but just know it's also limited...

GC is probably one of the best but i know my dealership will void my warranty for using something different to 5w30... they are so lame... i hate them...

I understand what you're saying. Insolubles normally should be below 0.6%. On the Altima and the Z, I never had anything higher than like 0.3%. If it's high, then you have more trouble than just what's IN the oil. Means you got some issues with oil or air filtration. I guess...just throwing that out there.
