I know that ENGINE OIL on these forums can be a hot button, but I am not asking about DINO vs. SYN, or 30 vs. 50 weight, so let's here the opinions.
I am curious.... I just have a daily driver so let's talk about what I would gain. Not racing, or engine building, or trying to re-invent the wheel here. Does anyone see any value in testing engine oil? What could I learn? I just changed the break-in oil after about 500 miles. Just a guess, cause the ODO is not working. basically 2-1/2 full tanks of gas ran thru. I found a send-off testing service for $25. So it is affordable for the curious. If I do it, should I wait for this or maybe even one more oil change? Then I figured do it again in a year or so and compare. I used Brad Penn break-in and re-filled with Brad Penn 20W-50. Thanks in advance for the input, Clark |
