My UOA kit from OAI/Amsoil is supposed to arrive this weekend. Now I'm thinking about the process. Blackstone says when sampling, "Getting the oil up to operating temperature should help cook out any moisture or fuel build-up from the last time you drove."
Why should anyone do this? Wouldn't it be better to know if there is fuel in the oil? I'd call Blackstone but I'm getting my uoa from OAI/Amsoil. I saw one or two threads on this, but don't recall a conclusive answer. I do recall someone saying in a thread I read, something about doing this would replicate normal driving conditions, but I would think that if there is normally fuel in the oil, one should know about it--if it is getting burned off, then one would think it would not cause additional wear, but still one should know that it is there in the oil.
Thoughts?
