Just got back my results, says levels appear normal. Where do I find the ranges for each item included in the test?

Steve,
The ranges are here, real time.. There are no established/published 'ranges', per se, as the oil analysis interpretation is based on your engine, your driving conditions, loading, etc.

Thanks George. Now that I have a baseline, how often should I do the test?

How often should one sample is now a personal decision.. With a good result, every other oil change, every 3rd, 4th, whatever sampling rates gives you the best comfort level.. Of course with any significant change in configuration such as an air cleaner, induction system, I would suggest a sample to confirm induction system integrity, performance. And then there is the injector situation....
