I had my Synth oil analyzed after it ground up all the bearings... guess what it showed? ground bearings in the oil! I DO know that they DIDNT find lead, so Im pretty sure the bearing shells dont have that. My opinion is that Oil pressure at a given RPM and temp is the best indication of bearing condition. > c. Any thoughts from the group on the high lead in the oil > analysis?
