Great Oil and Fuel info...

"To do this a sample of oil is placed in to the test equipment where a thin film of the lubricant is heated on a electrode to 4000-degrees Celsius instantly converting it to vapour. This vapour is then studied for any metal traces to determine which, of the fifteen different metals used in the engine, they could be, and indeed if their size and quantity is of any concern as to the health of the car."

Pretty cool, but isn't this the standard mechanism for all oil analysis? I though this was how Blackstone, Oil Analyzers, etc did it.
