EXPLANATION FOR TEST RESULTS
HOW DOES THE INSTRUMENT WORK?
The tester primarily reacts to the increase in acidity of oil.
As the oil degrades, it becomes more acidic and will begin
to pit mental engine parts. The result
Lj
90% usually means
that the level of acid in the oil has reached a maximum
acceptable level, and the oil should be changed. However,
other contaminants (such as dirt, soot, water, antifreeze
and metal particles) also influence the reading. Water or
antifreeze in the oil may indicate a bad seal or head gasket.
Metal particles result from unusual water of bearings,
pistons, rings, etc. Excessive carbon or soot may be
caused by poor compression and excessive blow-by. Fuel
leaking can dilute the oil and may cause an artificially good
