Re: oil analysis labs
I just started using them a couple years ago. Wish I would have done it sooner, so I'd have more of a baseline to be able to tell the differences over time. Some of my friends have used them since they got their boats (even though they were used boats).
My tests always show "gas dilution", but that's not surprising since I still have carbs. I just did the standard tests.

Re: oil analysis labs
In the case of an impact, if the insurance company denies covering for transmission removal and dismantling for inspection as part of the claim, I insist on transmission samples right away for a baseline, then testing again at the end of the following season for comparison. If the second sample raises any red flags, the insurance company is contacted and expected to cover costs to remedy as part of the original claim.

Do you know if they have their own labs or do they use someone local to here like Wearcheck.
