Does it really matter if you get the sample from grabbing some from the drain plug when dumping the oil or if you get the sample via a vacuum pump from the dipstick hole and Into the sample bottle? Just curious because I know you can purchase the vac pump kit to do samples using that method. Good subject material and thanks for the lesson and explanation of the different aspects of all of the Information on the analysis sheet. And I'm also an Amsoil user in my 2005 6.0l Powerstroke. And I've had some fuel dilution elevation but nothing too serious.
My 2017 bmw 3 series F30 were running European oil OEM & LM 5W40 for the past 6 years. This year, I decided to use an American Oil, which is the Amsoil SS 5W30. So far so good, I get a little bit of fuel savings and my engine is more reactive to the oil.
The biggest problem in this report is even though it tells you what value of each parameter measured, it doesn't tell you what the range of acceptability is. How are you supposed to know where it is within the range, is it at the bottom, the middle or the top? If you are almost out of specification, wouldn't you want to know?
@jimiwright5115 it does tell you. Its color coded. Oxidation is the main thing to look at. The oxidation of this oil where it would be bad not doing it's job is between 45-50. Fuel dilution. Anything less than 2 is good. That's also why he color codes it. So you know where the oil is at. Once it starts to oxidize it continues to go up and never comes back down. That's why you do it in increments. A virgin sample would also help. Which I just did a video sending in a virgin sample of the new synthetic blend formula. So we can see it's chemical makeup and where the numbers are. And it actually surprised us. A lot of work went into formulating that. It comes out Sunday.

maybe I'm getting old. I could listen to this stuff for hours. lol.
Me too. It's interesting to know what's going on in there. What you can do to make it better. And how the additive packages work.

You can do the dipstick method. It tells you on the instructions. You just have to shake it very well. 👍👍
Was this the Amsoil Signature Series 5w30 in this report?
Amsoil 5W30 XL. They 10,000 mile oil change and analysis is coming yp very soon. About 900 miles to go.
@@BeardedFordTech Niceee! if that's the effects of the XL, just imagine what the Amsoil SS can do.
@Mrniceguy179 for some reason xl works better in my vehicle. Possibly cause of how I drive and where I live. I should try SS next time.

@@Mrniceguy179 signature series is great oil. And I'm glad.it is working for you! Also keeps the engine clean.
Great vid , how long is your ride to work ?
25 miles. Usually about 22 min depending on if I get stuck behind a school bus
