Oil Analysis Questions

Did you know?

• The information that you would normally find on the back of the Oil Analysis report has moved. We have made it easier to read and understand on the web along with other interesting information. 
• Graphed metal results are normalised, this means we are only comparing results at standard intervals i.e 200 hours for engines, 500 hours for non-engines. This is only for trending purposes so you can compare the current results with past results. 
• It is important to fill out the sample description form correctly. The information that you provide will help us to know more about your sample, and help you when you get the report back. 
• If you take the sample when the oil is cold it will reduce the accuracy of the sample. The majority of the particles we are looking for fall to the bottom and may not be tested. So make sure the samples are taken at operating temperatures to get the maximum benefit out of your oil analysis.
