Oil analysis is a quick, nondestructive way to gauge the health of an engine by looking at what’s in the oil. People use oil analysis for different reasons: to see if there are any problems developing, to see if their oil is working well in the engine, and to see if they can run longer oil changes.
Oil analysis reveals that my eight year old motor with 64,000 miles is in perfect operating condition! Oil analysis is a fantastic, inexpensive tool and well worth the $25 to alert you to any underlying issues before they become catastrophic. It also underscores the importance of changing your oil frequently to prolong the motor’s life and increase reliability.
