UOA results are worthle,,,,,, Um, ahhh, let's be more diplomatic. UOA results do not accurately indicate the rate of engine wear. Especially between brands of oil. UOA results can show certain wear trends, and when significant changes occur, it may be time to investigate.
UOA results can accurately indicate oil viscosity problems, fuel contamination, air filter failure, remaining active acid neutralizing additive and antifreeze in the oil.
Here is a camshaft that is completely destroyed. Yet UOA results never indicated a problem. The UOA Fe number was something like 5ppm on each sample.
This has been verified by expert and reasonable posts … But I often wonder if we’d have more of them on this site without the endless trolls who other members try to deal with …
I doubt any uoa could predict a sudden failure of a engine component.
I’m sure we all knew someone who was in perfect health yet died suddenly. These things happen.
Lot’s of things are done here to “feel better” … same with me, only UOA’s is not one I care to pay for … I know I’m not pushing any lubes to the limit …
