Here's an old trick from Noria. (Professional oil analysis and educational training) Instead of using a paper towel, put a drop of oil (off the dipstick) on the back of a white business card. The whiter the card stock the better. Make sure the paper is NOT glossy finish but flat (color) and clean as possible. Let the oil drop diffuse into the paper until it is fully absorbed. This may take 3 to 4 hours. Then look at the oil spot. Look for an even gradation in color from the center to the outer edge of oil penetration. If you see any sharp lines or splotches, your fluid is contaminated with particulate. Not a guarantee, but, a cheap way to do fluid chromatography when you don't know the fluid history and want a relatively quick way to make an educated guess about it's suitability for continued use.
