Ok guys, enlighten me please. What value do you gain from an oil analysis? If your engine is worn out, you probably know from the bad starting and lack of power. If it has metal fragments, you would know from the valve chatter or other noise. If you're using the wrong oil, you should know from

The lab that Larry uses reported that one of my samples had coolant in the oil. Invisible to eye, the amount was small, but I knew that either the head was cracked or the head gasket was failing. I had time to source a used head while still driving the car. I used the soot number over several

Roger, Oil analysis provides an indication of the condition of the oil as well as all the contaminants contained in it. Some of these are metals that originate from known sources, such as bearings or piston skirts, for example. The only real value in performing oil analysis is to do it on a

Points well taken, Max. On some engines this might be more important than others, too. As inexpensive as the oil changes are on our cars, I’m not sure there’s value in sampling for oil change intervals. If you get 50% more mileage out of an oil change but spend $20 for an oil sample it’s

That was exactly my point. In the fleet and stationary duty engines I’ve worked with, where oil sampling really pays off is with regular sampling at fixed intervals and watching the trends. You can tell a great deal from an oil sample if you’ve got historical data. In fact, it’s kind of cool
