+1, if there is a problem with you're engine, it will show in the UOA. This might be stretching it, but to put it into another perspective: think about an ectomorphic person (cannot gain weight, lacking fat) who eats a lot of fast foods. Sure he may physically look healthy because he is still slender, but sampling his blood and analyzing it could actually determine that he has high cholesterol, thus unhealthy.
Doctors don't test whether you have AIDS or HIV by looking at you. They run blood tests, hence the reason why LiquidTurbo suggested getting your used oil tested & analyzed so you can get reliable data as well as a comparison of what the ppm levels should be at from past data. How would u assess whether there was antifreeze or too much fuel in the oil by looking at the filter material?
And whether or not those levels are acceptable or not for an engine with XXXXX amount of km?
