A "one time" analysis won't tell you what's "normal" wear and tear for YOUR engine. For example, a brand new engine's oil analysis could show a great variety of metals in the oil......but some of that stuff could be part of the manufacturing processes to make that engine or the typical "break in" wear.

IF you were to get an oil analysis of that FIRST oil you might think your engine is about to fail....lol.

Companies (often with fleets of vehicles) will perform regular oil analysis in order to determine the health of their engines........OVER MANY TESTS.....seldom do engines experience failure all of a sudden. It's more typical that they fail slowly. .But relying on ONE test is like pulling only ONE spark plug and trying to determine how all are burning based on one...........

But do as you wish........
