Theology of Oil 2022 Edition

Certified Tribologist Lake Speed Jr. discusses oil analysis in detail to help you determine whether your motor oil is doing its job protecting your engine in an MBCA tech session from June 2022. At his previous tech session, one of the frequently asked questions was “What type of oil should I be using?” and only real way to answer that question is to conduct used oil analysis; Lake discusses how to read and interpret oil analysis results.
