TBN is a critical value as it is a strong indicator of the overall remaining life left in the oil. The elemental analysis is fine, buy you need to see physical properties as well (viscosities, fuel dilution %, antifreeze dilution %, water, insoluble’s, TBN, TAN, etc.) in the final report for both the before and after analysis………………
