I have been a professional aircraft mechanic since 1974, I have taken a lot of oil samples for oil analysis, but I have never considered having oil analysis done on any engine I have owned, and I have never known anyone whose engine was saved by an oil sample.

No expectations. These are lab results though. I would hope they would like to take a look at them. It's field testing and I'm hoping for good data. I'm really happy with the engine and trans. It's tight and I hope it stays that way.

If you’re experienced in oil sampling, you know this, but for others reading this may be helpful.
I am very **** about the sample collection process and make sure I rinse the bottle multiple times with the sample oil as it is draining. Crack the drain open, let oil come out, get some in sample bottle, shake it, dump it, repeat a couple times. Even though bottles ares sealed, they can still be dirty. And concentrations of contaminants can sit in the pan at the drain and you don’t want to collect those because they are not representative of what’s circulating in the oil, so let it drain a little to let those contaminants flush out.
