    Tells you of any contaminates like antifreeze that might be in your oil also recommends increasing or decreasing oil change interval based off the findings, etc. Purchased my truck used with 55k on the clock so for me it was to get a piece of mind and try to head off any unforeseen issues before they turned into major problems.

    To put it simply, they analyze the oil and send a report indicating levels of certain metals that are found in the oil, therefore giving you an overall summary of the internal health of your engine.

    They look at the chemicals in your oil to determine:

    How worn your oil was
    If other chemicals are mixing (like coolant)
    Metal content (bearing wear)

    Many other things as well

    Not a dumb question at all.

    These guys summed it up pretty well. I guess you could think of it as a health screening where they draw your blood and send it to the lab. Same concept.

    I don't expect to find anything out of the ordinary, but seems like cheap insurance.

    All my rigs are purpose built. From crawling to camping. I also enjoy a nice stock truck for what that’s worth. Toyota’s are the jam!

    Today’s my bday turned 41! Heading down to the river with BBQ and rafts.

    Moms hooked it up with a 7 layer chocolate cake big enough for a giant!
    Gonna be a chill one today.

    Looking forward to our camping trip!
