The goal of an effective oil analysis program is to increase the reliability and availability of machinery while minimizing maintenance costs associated with oil change outs, labor, repairs and downtime. Accomplishing this goal takes time, training and patience. However, the results are dramatic and the documented savings and cost avoidance are significant. This booklet introduces the basics of oil analysis testing.
