[Shop-talk] Lubricheck

[Jack Brooks]

. . . . or maybe someone who had not changed it for years and wanted it to
look ok.  Brand new oil in a motor I was looking at would be a red flag.
The same as the motor being warm to the touch before I got there, although I
usually tell them to leave it cold before I get there so I can see and hear
a true cold start.

Ok, call me suspicious. . . . .

I like Blackstone too.

Anyone who would think to change the oil before selling a car or mower
probably is the same type person who would maintain it.

Haven't sold a car or mower in a while, but if I was going to I'd change the
oil before I showed it to anybody.

That makes great sense. 

I guess I was thinking that this would be a great tool for when you are 
thinking about buying a car (or mower, or other engine.) If it worked, it 
would be a quick way to tell if the owner took care of it. 

So the question then is, could it work for that?
