It's been 3,000 since I last changed the oil. So I drove it a good while to get it up to operating temperature. I been driving it all day. I let it cool off for 30 minutes then drained it and caught the oil sample midway like it said. I'll send in the sample just to see what's on the report. Except I remembered how am I suppose to send an oil sample in the mail. I don't know if that will be a problem. Once it gets back I'm going to show the results to the mechanic. The engine runs good. It's properly tuned and oil is always changed at 3,000 miles. I never use synthetic oil. Most of the time it's conventional or a high mileage oil. Most of the oil is coming from the front seal. The oil pan is starting to seep on the passenger side probably due to being next to the exhaust manifold plus the age. So it's going to have to come out to be fixed. One seal I was forgetting about was the valve stem seals. Should I have them swapped while it's out? They have the means to do it without removing the head.
