how to obtain oil sample?

what's the best way to get an oil sample from a stock engine? i dont see an oil sample valve and i'm running synthetic so i'm wanting to get a sample to send off to see how long i can run it.

You can use a small tube and go down the oil dipstick.

Nex time you change your oil, buy a Fumoto valve.
