[Cleveland Crush]

Does anyone have experience/feedback with this type of inexpensive oil tester? Maybe an interesting addition to my tool collection?

I wouldn't put much stock in it. Even if can detect contamination it can't really tell you what the contamination is or how much to any accurate degree. Pay the $35 (Blackstone Laboratories) and get a professional evaluation of what is really going on in your engine.

I wouldn't bother. It doesn't tell you what "quality" means in terms of oil life. You can probably make just as accurate an analysis by looking at the end of your dipstick.
