RE: oil analysis

Almost any industrial/commercial engine facility will sell you a kit. You take the sample and mail it in and the results will follow. Question is, do you know how to interpret the results?? Oil analysis is also only accurate if you have a history of them and plot the results to note any changes or excessive wear beginning.You will find at least trace anounts of many metals and possibly silicone but you must know what is normal and abnormal for your particular engine. If you decide to go ahead with this try any Caterpillar or Detroit Diesel dealer to obtain a kit.
