Once he learned the "cut and paste" functions on his keyboard, he became an expert.

Got a question ...if UAO's (oil analysis) can not always determine accurate iron levels what's the use for them??

Here is the use for UAO's:

-They can tell you what is in a brand new bottle of oil...the manufacturer will not.

-You can follow the wear metals in YOUR engine..if things suddenly change for the worse you may be clued into a problem before something major happens.

-It can tell you ...after several samples...how often to change the oil in YOUR engine better.

-It can in a new bottle of oil sampled check to see if a manufacturer has reformulated without you being aware of it.

What it can't do:

-Tell you exactly what your engine looks like inside..you need a tear-down for that.

-Can't compare different engines under different stress loads and send in samples and expect a scientific result.


Is it worth doing?

It costs $20/test....it's optional

That's what I say. He needs to come buy me out. I am ready to retire, esp. now that I have to have armored cars follow the trucks of oil back from ExxonMobil since the price of crude is so high.

There is a semi-fluid grease that we get in bulk for a little company called Wabash National. They make trailers for everyone.. Maybe you have heard of them. They buy a grease a fully synthetic grease that is 5.69/lb. A whole tuck load cost around 250K for a load. The grease is warrantied for the life of the trailer. That's some juice.
