Hello all,
just a question how UOA's should be read.
For example, for an engine holding 5 quarts, Fe ppm let's say is 8ppm. If the engine holded 10 quarts, Fe wear 8ppm should indicate double wear, so shouldn't all values be multiplied by the sump capacity in order to find the mass of the wear metal?
Secondly, shouldn't ideally this value be related to the engine mass? (ok this is not easy to find, somebody should look the engine specs to know that). But isn't it completely different for a 200 lbs engine to have for example 8 ppm Fe wear value instead of a 2000 lbs engine to have the same wear Fe value? (so divided by engine mass)
thank you for clarifying
