DOH! Double post!

Go into "edit post" and find the delete post tab! If you do that I will delete this and everything is tidy again.

00922XXX A As this is the first sample no trends are evident. Wear levels appear acceptable for hrs/km on oil. All other Test Results appear Acceptable. Continue Sampling at the Recommended Interval.

I have a truck and trailer and I'd be interested in doing it on my 2010 FM480 Volvo because it's only due for a service every 30,000klms and not sure how good or bad it is for the truck considering it cost me nearly more than my house I want to look after it

mmm, thats more diffficult to understand than a Full Blood analaysis report from pathology...Red Blood Cells, Protein, Liver function tests, pH etc I can understand, but as for an oil analysis....now thats complicated

It's present much better when you get your report, in a nice little table which makes it easier to read.

heres a Cat document which doesn't really answer any questions but other might find it interesting:
