Default Oil Annalysis????????????????

hey ive never had one done and had some questions..first off ..where to send it and who is the cheapest/fastest..i was wondering..how accurate are they..i mean by that can they tell exacly what is from where..like say if you see metal they can tell you its off the crank,or its off the cam or etc.or if its bearing material if its camm,rod,main..reson i ask is i mean wouldnt it be kind of pointless if they couldnt? i mean **** you see gold flakes..you know its a bearing so if they cant determine which one then why would you do it? im just wondering i was wanting to do a sample on mine..i just reasseblmed it after having a cam go bad and was wanting to make sure i had nothing still in the oill thanks in adv

Butler cat is only $12.

Then go to BOBISTHEOILGUY site and post the results over there. Patman can also help you read the OA.

I highly recommend getting in touch with Terry Dyson, he'll work with you on your oil analysis to fully explain what everything means and answer tons of questions you might have. He works in conjunction with a couple of different labs, and will also interpret any report you might get from another lab.

Here is his link:
