It is not just a matter of having a positive value in the UOA results for fuel. Fuel comes and goes from the oil. In the past I have had fuel in one sample that was taken after just around town driving while a later sample in the same oil showed no fuel (after a long highway stint). Yet Terry is able to know that fuel has been in the oil and will advise you what to do about it. The information is proprietary so it cannot be discussed in detail.
Everyody should get at least one analysis from Terry. Then you can decide for yourself of the benefit. Even though I send oil to be analyzed by several different companies I send all the results to Terry. You will learn more about oil analysis just by getting this done. It is as in medicine. You cannot just look it up in a book. You need to have a feel for it.
Also, it is not just a one way analysis. Terry will ask you questions if needed to get a better idea of what is going on. Even if the values of the UOA are low there may be things that one can do to make things better or there may be evidence of impending failure.
You may have noticed that I do not comment on somebody else's UOA. I do not know enough to give a relevant conclusion.
