You can learn a lot about the condition of a diesel engine by having an
assessment done of the lubricating oil's condition.


I guess the missed that pertinant final line in the original poster's

Too bad.

How sensitive are the tests?
Obviously, they will pick up 'normal' levels of wear, but might you get
reasonable indications at lower levels, from 10 hours of wear?
Not to mention the fact that all the oil won't have been drained out.
