The goal of sending engine oil to a testlab was to see after 4 plus years of using water/methnol injection if there was any real difference since with the engine and the makeup of the Mobil-I oil.

In short there was no degrading of the oil or the compounds found in the oil that use of water/meth causing any damage to engine or oil.

Lots of good info there as you notice one test was when engine had only 6,500 miles and newest test mileage was 27,600 miles thus about 21,000 miles had elapsed over 7 years with a ton of high RPM, 100 % engine loads bouncing off rev limiter

and by knowing the metals in engine gives us a good look inside as if any piston's ring land was broke, head or intake gasket leaking, no water or fuel found in sample, etc so for price of oil test of $22 tells us a lot about engine without having to get inside of the engine ourselves.

About 20 gallons of water, 20 gallons of methanol and maybe 5 gallons of WW fluid went through these cylinders with zero signs any of it got into the oil says the engine is sound.
