Detects the presence of metallic particles from engine wear, indicating potential component issues by analyzing elements like iron, copper, aluminum, and lead through atomic emission spectroscopy.

Measures the number and size of particles within the oil, providing insight into the level of general contamination and potential filter issues.

Uses infrared spectroscopy to identify oxidation byproducts in the oil, a crucial factor in high-temperature racing environments.

A simple test where a drop of oil is placed on a hot plate, with bubbling or crackling indicating the presence of water.

Detects the presence of glycol-based coolants in the oil, which can significantly impact lubrication properties.

Checks if the oil maintains its desired viscosity under extreme operating temperatures, affecting lubrication efficiency.
