It was time to do my annual oil change on the Camaro and take an oil sample for analysis. Last year I had some unexpected contaminants in the oil that could have been the start of a coolant leak, but also could have been from forest fire smoke. This year those contaminants were gone and the sample was much improved. I cannot be certain, but it sure looks like the smoke particles made it into my oil last year.
I show the latest report and then show how I took the sample to send out to the lab.
