Tests for glycol, water, and fuel in oil sample, likely indicators of leaks or mechanical failure.

Viscosity |
Tests oil density/thickness which impacts oil pressure. |
| TBN |
Total Base Number (TBN) indicates how much detergent remains in the engine oil and, as a result, how often an oil change is necessary. |
| TAN |
