When I make the switch from Amsoil to HPL next service interval, I will also be switching to WearCheck for my used oil analysis testing. This is the lab HPL uses for customer sample testing. For a very short trend analysis, I will also get one final used oil analysis from SD on the AMSOIL Signature Series 0w20 I've been running since the first oil change in the Pilot.
Maybe a lab error for all that Moly?
Where do you get sample kits for wear check? I dug through their site a bite and didn’t see anything. I’d be interested in trying them out.
Someone posted this link in another thread to the HPL testing kits. I couldn't find them on Advanced Lubrication's website doing a search, but ordered and received four kits using the link. The ShipTo address on the kits says HPL, but a Google maps search shows the address as WearCheck.
How strange. Thank you!
RDE is inferior for a reason and does have issues with some elements.
In this particular case (molly levels) it seems to be superior though
How is that possible? Does ICP mask or have interferences with molybdenum? You have to be careful answering that since it’s also dependent on the other elements present in the sample. Also the concentration.
This reply makes zero sense to me, and I honestly don't think you are asking this seriously. But this being a public forum where new members might read this, the reasoning is about the particle size
Sure thing.
An extra oil sample is a smart idea. This is what I planned to do from this day forward. I always worry the sample my get lost in the mail or lost at the company. I will order some bottles of Amazon.
