4 years is plenty of experience with them, and we will not go back. Plus, an oil analysis doesn't seem to do much with the newer rod bearings that do not contain lead. The older ones, it was a good tell but still not 100% accurate. They should know this.
Good info. Additionally, i believe you have to do multiple oil readings to get an idea of whether you are seeing stable levels of debris or if its increasing. I could be wrong but i dont think you can just "do an oil analysis". Agreed, they should know this.
