F UE L DILU T ION Used oil is tested for the presence of unburned fuel. Using oil diluted by fuel can lead to rapid and catastrophic component failure due to reduced viscosity and film strength, as well as increased wear, and the possibility of a fire hazard. S OOT Soot can cause a host of problems, including poor engine performance, decreased fuel economy, increased wear, shortened fluid life, deposit and sludge formation, clogged filters, and increased operating costs. This test measures the soot content of used engine oils and flags every sample containing 5% soot or higher. GLYC OL (A N T IF R E E Z E) Antifreeze in any compartment other than the cooling system is a critical problem and can lead to rapid and catastrophic component failure. This test looks for and reports the presence of glycol in components. WAT E R This test looks for the presence of water, performing moisture checks for coolant leaks or condensation formation. Water contamination can promote acid formation, which can cause components to lose efficiency.
