Is it possible to have an oil analysis where the viscosity of the oil did not thin out or thicken up, and the oxidation is high?
And in the opposite situation, is it possible to have no oxidation at all, but yet the viscosity has changed.
In other words, is viscosity change and oxidation always directly comparable? I guess I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to figure out oxidation based on oil analysis reports where the oxidation is in question? (such as my last report which showed 37% oxidation in 740 miles, which I believe is simply not possible since the oil's viscosity did not change so soon)
