Need help with UOA

[NavyVet88]

Can you guys explain to me what I'm looking at/for when looking at UOA results? I do t understand what the numbers and acronyms mean in relation to the "health"of an engine via oil. I've tried googling and it doesnt really explain much or at least helps it make any sense.

I'm gonna be sending off my for my first UOA at the end of the OCI on my civic and I really would like to be able to look at the numbers and know what they mean.

Just a reminder:

No UOA by itself will tell you much of anything.

You first need a VOA of the lube you're using and then do a "Trending' by taking subsequent analyses with the same brand and viscosity of lube.
