When I bought my boat 8 years ago the surveyor asked if I wanted the oil analysed?

Yeah, why not...Only $50.00 or whatever the charge was.

Glad I did:

The lab sent a fax saying not to start the engine unless repairs were made:

They found 6% diesel in the oil.
It was tracked down to a leaking lift pump.
The owner did not know about it.

Money very well spent...Done it twice since then, the cost to you is only $18 or $20.
