Hi,

 

What do you compare to - a previous report? Well - guess my question is if you have an old VFR engine how do you know if values are within limits - it could be some bearing is already going bad if you dont have a "reference point"?

The "universal average" -  I assume - is some odd average for loads of different engines?

I have only sent one sample. I imagine their process is designed to measure an engine over time. So my results lack any historical comparison.

And I was unaware of the ability to measure engine wear prior to this.

 

But it does inform my decisions on oil changes and Honda's recommended 8,000 mi oil changes. A goal of limiting my use of petroleum is balanced against my desire to help my machines last as long as possible.

 

I also assume there they have an idea of what sort of wear an average engine can take based on a large amount of historical data.
