Nah .he just puts the tip of his tongue on the dip stick or a little oil on his finger for the taste test .We we're in Chicago when looking at a 60 ton Grove when the salesman asked what Jack was doing ? I said he was trying it out .I think he detects acid and burn taste ,maybe metal filings .Never questioned him but we've never bought a bad machine yet :D

Plenty of labs out there for oil analysis; we used Mobil at AEP River Ops because we contracted with Mobil for lube oil for all the boats, and 4 samples per month per boat was included in the deal. I've used Analysts, Inc for vehicles in the past, IIRC, back then it was about $15 for a sample. I had a new Ford Probe back then that I was having a mild fuel dilution problem with, and I took the printout along with me for the warranty work. The service manager had never seen anything like that before... :confused:
