On a similar note - I have observed that my 3000 mile drained out Dino 15W40 oil if left in the oil container settles the soot down - Leaving the oil quite clean.

I also can get hold of a few gallons of 50 or something hours used CAT or LE diesel oil. It also settles soot like my car's oil.

Are such CAT or LE oils good to use?

Centrifuge the Oil. A long time ago someone posted one they had made one from an old Juicer.

Back in the late seventies one of the guys in the Chemistry department did oil analysis with an IR Spectrophotometer. Wonder if you could get one cheap on ebay?

Unfotunately inside it likely is set up for Test Tubes or even smaller Viles.
