Typo on the date for second picture?

For the second picture, oil is dark and contaminated definitely due for a change.

I would advice against using till such condition as with contaminant shown through oil dip means there may be plenty down somewhere within the block, bearing or anywhere within reach of the oil. Clearly the oil filter is no longer working in this case.

I do agree on the oil doing it's part as a part time cleaner for the engine however i'll say the color of the oil will be a more appropriate marker as the gauge, don't u think so? With that being said, isn't the oil filter supposed to filter the contaminants down to 5 or 10 microns(human hair is 45-70 micron)?

Since the oil filter is present and doing the filtration, how can the visually visible contaminants still present in oil dip? A clear indicator that the engine is mighty dirty or just the oil filter/oil is way due for replacement or both.

Don't get me wrong i also do agree that UOA is the proper mean to gauge the properties of the oil though.

There is no need to get agitated. I never claimed that "my oil filter" is that good. Also didn't claim viscosity of the oil can be determined through visual inspection nor flash point or any else. Just pointing out that the fact on how an oil filter can filter accordingly as per what was stated. Taking no credit here nor deserve any. Also what I state by gauging the condition of the oil is also based on my point of view that it is absolutely not practical for me and I believe the majority here to get a UOA analysis done during OCI. So I'll just based on the typical recommended mileage aside from color of the oil and buttfeel to know when and at what mileage an oil change is required. But again that's just me.

Interpreting blotter tests is on the same scientific level as reading tea leaves; you can end up convincing yourself of things that aren't really there.

Can't really blame regular consumers as pretty much no one knows about used oil analysis.

And even if they do know about it, the price for such a service locally is just damn insane expensive.

Attach herewith the price that i queried last year.

Yeap true, sending it to Blackstone is much more cost effective.

But for 200+, unless the car owner is overly curious, the most logical thing is to go down the hyper market and grab the best fully synthetic oil, drive it to the nearest mechanic to get it drained together with a filter change, and likely can still emerge with some spare change out of RM200.

Well, for the fun of it and curiosity sake, 200+ for Blackstone is actually a good deal.

Actually does 100% PAO engine oil exist in market?

100% ester base oil formulation may NOT have some PAO or petroleum synthetic base .

Edit: Even though a Used Oil Analysis is 'quantitative' in providing numerical ppm's of various metal wear or metal elements, it is still basically a judgemental and qualitative analysis in terms of assessment/evaluation as to the state of 'wear' of the used oil sample and its stage of oil life journey etc.
