Can an oil analysis tell you anything about your oil filter? If it is working or if it's at max capacity?
 
... with a particle count.
On a passenger car (vs. overroad professional trucking) , You can buy ~ five oil filters for the price of an Analysis so Unless changinging the filter is a pain (like on my old Protégé) analysis may not exhibit the economics to be a wise choice.

I got curious about doing a filter analysis a couple of years ago and asked Polaris how much they charged. It was in the hundreds of dollars, so I decided to pass on it.

That's a good reason to pass. Wow that's expensive. Now if I had let's say a $300k car, yea I'd prob do one or two. But that's probably a reason I never looked into it.
