  Engine Oil Analysis Services - How Necessary Is It?

 

  by Khalid R. Mustaffa

 

Service technicians at quick lube shops insist to advertise for an engine oil analysis. I wondered about the real purpose of the analysis the first time I was offered the service. I thought to myself, another useless service!!

·         I asked the Service technician," Talk to me, how is it going to help?”

·         “We will send your motor oil to our labs, and for 14.99 you can have it inspected for problems, and abnormal condition.” he said.

·         I smiled and told him ”last I changed the oil was 3200 miles ago.” “Are you telling me I need to spend 15 dollars, for a report that confirms it was the right time to change the oil!”

 

Cars in houston suggests.  Fleets and trucks holding big quantities of oil find it necessary for such a service. But otherwise, it would be a waste of your money and time to do such a service. Such vehicles have the oil periodically analyzed to test for viscosity and acid content. Using a device to burn the oil, and identify the impurity of the oil.

 

For most consumer cars in houston, and almost every city in the nation, it is very hard to justify the cost. why spend your money on a report that will suggest changing your oil. All you need to do is change your oil every 3000 to 3500 miles and you'll know the exact timing of your next oil change by reading the odometer. Regular oil changes is your best insurance policy, to protect your investment with. It is very rare for an engine to fail before 100,000 miles if it's oil changed every 3000 miles.
