Overview
Oil analysis summarizes the condition of your oil and identifies component wear/contamination. It typically includes evaluating the results of tests and providing detailed reports, including maintenance recommendations. It's a fast and highly accurate way to assess what's going on inside your engines.
Equipment owners use the data and recommendations to improve preventative maintenance, reduce equipment downtime and reduce costs by extending oil drain intervals.
Sample Processing / Reporting
We use an independent laboratory for analysis of oils representing a wide range of systems and applications. The lab will request that you send your oil sample(s) as soon as possible after collecting. The oil samples do not "break down," but any long delay between sampling and analysis can be crucial if a unit is failing. Once the oil sample reaches the lab, it will be processed within 24 hours. You will be notified if critical conditions are present.
Features of the Report
- Up to 6 sets of test results (current and 5 previous) are displayed
- Spectrochemical and physical results underlined where applicable
- Full headings for all results
Why Sample Oils?
- Improve preventive maintenance
- Minimize downtime by identifying minor problems before they become major failures
- Reduce overall cost of lubricants
- Safely extend drain intervals
- Identify opportunities for optimizing filtration performance
- Maximize asset reliability
- Extend equipment life
Applications
- For fleets and off-road vehicles and equipment
