Oil Analysis of engine, transmission and hydraulic oils allows you to recognize probable problems before a major repair is necessary. Oil analysis also may help you decrease the frequency of oil changes and increase the resale value of the used equipment. So, what is oil analysis all about? An oil analysis will tell you a lot about how the equipment is being used and what its present condition is. Oil in a machine can be compared to the blood in the human body. Just like a blood check will tell you about the present condition of the human body in a similar way oil analysis will tell you about the present condition of equipment health.

A typical oil analysis can show the presence of contaminants and can also tell you if you've been using the suitable lubricants. Oil analysis can also show some important parameters which like Fuel dilution of lubrication oil, External Dust Entry, Antifreeze in the oil & Excessive bearing wear. Analysing oil samples on a regular basis helps to establish a baseline of the normal wear and can highlight incidences of abnormal wear or cases of contamination thus preventing a breakdown and allowing corrective action before catastrophic failure occurs. This is the major advantage of an oil analysis program being able to predict problems and plan repair work to maintain Uptime of the equipment.
