new cadillac alternator

Is there such a thing as forensics for engine oil? I am bringing a consumer case on a used car purchase.?

Oct 06, 2006 by Michael | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

Basically the car engine destroyed itself after only 50 miles. It sounded fine when purchased. Are there additives that an unsrupulous dealer can put in the oil that will revive the engine just long enough to sell it? Is there a way to test for those
