Oil analysis can accurately detect the abnormal wear modes of specific oil wetted engine components, even on the very first sample, before the wear becomes severe. Using the Metal Check Oil Analysis test kit from Aviation Laboratories, you simply extract a few ounces of oil from your engine, seal the postage-paid package and drop it in the mail for analysis using Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectrometry.

Analysts look for 12 distinct wear metal elements in your oil, potentially identifying abnormal engine wear patterns before they become expensive or dangerous breakdowns. Within 24 hours of receiving your sample at the lab, comparison of your oil to interpretive guidelines developed for every engine make and model and honed over nearly 20 years of experience in the field is completed. If abnormal results are found, you'll be contacted by telephone. If the results are normal you'll receive a full printed report by mail or view results online as soon as they are available. Reports include the results from your last three samples, making it easy to spot trends.

Whether you use it for pre-purchase inspection or to monitor wear patterns over time in your own engine, the Metal Check - Aircraft Engine Oil Analysis Kit may be the best value in aviation maintenance.
