Does anyone do oil analysis on their V6 diesel engine?

To keep an eye on wear levels and maintenance schedules, I always send my old oil to Millers for analysis and watch the trends developing.

If anyone else does the same and is interested in sharing their data with me then I would like to create an amalgamated dataset that I can then publish in the forum.

A larger sample size would give more accurate parameters that we could then use to assess the relative health of our engines.

If there is interest in doing this I will set an email address to send data too.

Thanks!!

I've just had my oil analysed by Finning. More than happy to share the results especially as I don't really know what the numbers mean and am happy to receive comments from the clever people here. D1 300Tdi - gone
D2 Td5 ES (Alive remapped...mmm) - sadly gone
D4 2012 SDV6 XS - Stolen
D4 2014 SDV6 HSE - Shiny

Short of having the oil analysed, perhaps every time we have the oil changed, we should examine by eye the oil filter and see what it has captured.

Be great to keep a running comparison between different engines. I think I’ll create a thread to publish the data.

I'm not an expert at oil analysis, but I do get the reports for compressors/pumps/GT's at work and have 'some' working knowledge. I'd happily offer an opinion (even if that was 'don't know') if you posted your results. Series one 1949 - in bits, chassis is strapped to the ceiling in my garage (beside the canoe)
LR 90 - In bits
Disco 3 - currently in bits
